Share
Marshall University’s School of Journalism and Mass Communications will host an evening with Glynn Washington, host and executive producer of the popular public radio program “Snap Judgment,” at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 4.

“Snap Judgment” is a themed, weekly NPR storytelling show sponsored by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and distributed through NPR and Public Radio Exchange.

According to the producers, Washington and the Snap Judgment team highlight “compelling personal stories — mixing real life with killer beats to produce cinematic, dramatic and kick-ass radio.”

The show’s website (snapjudgment.org) offers podcasts of the program and background on the stories’ participants. It can be heard locally Sundays at 9 p.m. on West Virginia Public Radio, 89.9 FM in Huntington and 88.5 FM in Charleston.

Washington’s appearance is part of the Marshall University Birke Fine Arts Festival.

The event will take place in room BE-5 of the Memorial Student Center. It is free and open to the public.
