From the Studio: Peace Corps Project

Spokane Public Radio

Gonzaga University students approaching graduation and post-graduate life spent some time interviewing former Peace Corps volunteers about their choices to serve and their experiences around the world. The result is the Peace Corps Project, a play based on the real stories of the interviewees. Interview participants Mike and Lynn Noel and Charles Pepiton, and actors Brett Bean and Elizabeth Helmer, visit the studio to discuss the production.

The Peace Corps Project will be performed in Gonzaga's Magnuson Theatre at 2 PM, Sunday, December 8th. 

Verne Windham got his start at Spokane Public Radio 20 years ago. “I came in to complain and they hired me.” He’s now the Program Director, as well as the host of Morning Classical and Concert of the Week. When choosing music for Morning Classical, Verne likes to keep the agenda as broadly defined as possible. For Concert of the Week, he focuses on the best of recent local performances, mostly classical in nature. For many years, Verne was also the conductor of the Spokane Youth Orchestra. He enjoys gardening, his vintage car and playing French horn.
