S1 | E25: You just heard strong words from KPIX-TV sports broadcaster, Vern Glenn, from a recent story he did about the Play Marin program and its creator, Paul Austin. We talked to Paul a few episodes ago about the success he has had teaching life lessons to kids of all colors through sports.
Back to Vern, you may know him from his current 11 year run at KPIX or previously as "Mr. Involvement", during his 22 years at KRON. Vern started his career at a TV station near his hometown of Richmond, Virginia. After 38 years in broadcasting, most of them while living in Marin and raising a family here, we wanted to ask him what it's like to be a public figure, a role model, and a Black man in this county that is 85% White.
Join us as Kalina and I continue our look at how Marin works.
Guests: Vern Glenn, KPIX
