Episode for June 5, 2025: Circumnavigating the Great Lakes

Sign up for our newsletter so you never miss a story! After Traci Lynn Martin's mom died, she knew she couldn't keep putting off her dream: becoming the first person to kayak around the Great Lakes in one year. So she quit her job as a nurse, cashed out part of her retirement savings, and set out to accomplish her goal. We have the story of her journey. We head to the Allegheny River for a kayak tour with a unique twist, participants made art together. We're independent and non-profit, and we don't get money from WESA, WPSU or any other radio station. So we must turn to you, our listeners, for support. Take action today so we can continue to keep you informed about the environmental issues in our region. Thank you!
