WIU's Response to the Pandemic

WIU

On Midwest Week, the impact of the pandemic on Western Illinois University and the search for a new president. 

Herb Trix's guest is Rich Egger, news director for Tri-States Public Radio in Macomb.

You can also hear Midwest Week Fridays on WVIK at 6:20 pm during All Things Considered. 

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
