Special guests for the Nov. 12 event at WVIA include series co-executive producer Bonnie Bertram, who has produced stories on video screen addiction, artificial intelligence, vaccines, mass incarceration, and more, and producer Matt Spolar, who has produced stories on athletes and social protest, violence in sports, Napster, and more.
The evening includes discussion with the guests and audience as well as light refreshments. Seating is limited, and free reservations are available while they last.
