8-16-2012

When the military hating Westboro Baptist Church said it would protest at the funeral for a local marine who was killed during his 6th tour of duty, Cumulus Grand Rapids Program Director Brad Austin sprung into action. Austin came up with an idea to ask listeners to form a peaceful human shield so the the protesters couldn't get close.  How local listeners responded even surpassed Austin's expectations. He talks about how his listeners and how radio plays a role in such a moving community event. LISTEN HERE

And congratulate Brad for a job well done HERE
