- Description:
- Gretchen Millich talks about her twenty-three-year career at Michigan State University's public radio station WKAR, her childhood and education in Detroit, attending the University of Michigan, majoring in radio and television production and after graduation, taking a job at a Cadillac, MI station as a "weather girl." She also describes later working for the NPR show "All Things Considered" in Washington D.C. during the day while attending law school at night, working on political campaigns, clerking at a law firm and finally passing the Michigan Bar exam, but going back to NPR for a continued career in radio. She says that she came to WKAR in 1990 as a reporter covering state government stories for a show called "State Edition" and discusses some of the stories she covered, and finally her retirement activities since leaving MSU. Millich is interviewed by retired MSU Professor Pauline Adams for the Michigan State University Faculty Emeriti Association Oral History Project.
