This was the third story I did for JT in the last six months. They are absolutely great to work with, and the folks I spoke with for this story were pretty remarkable as well.

Michael Franti and Me on BBC’s The World

I’m surprised at how long it wound up being, but I’m glad it worked out so well after driving all the way to Park City for the interview.
