With one week on the job completed, WBOI’s new GM, Terra Brantley, is fast building momentum and strengthening community connections. Bringing along an agenda that promises more of a focus on local coverage and engagement, she has produced a series of 30-second vignettes that will air on WBOI at various times daily throughout February in honor of Black History Month. Here WBOI’s Julia Meek discusses this project with Terra, her passion for public radio and what’s in store for the future. WBOI Artcentric is brought to you by WBOI’s own Julia Meek and Ben Clemmer. Our theme music is “Me voy pal campo'' by KelsiCote. Our administrative assistant is Olivia Fletter. Our production assistants are Monica Blankenship, Meihkai Bowers, Steve Mullaney, Kyle Norbeck, Diahmynd Thomas, Mikaela Veltum, and Sydney Wagner.
