In July, Michigan Radio’s Jennifer Guerra teamed up with UM Zell Fellow Brian Short to lead two installments of a very special workshop. The workshop, titled “Why Write?: Young Writers on Writing”, invited students to share their thoughts and experiences on the topic. Jen and Brian then put together two amazing, insightful, and hilarious podcasts, which are this month’s Feature of the Month.
