Searching for direction after college, Wes Martin volunteered at WFHB at his father’s urging. Seven years later, he became the station’s fourth news director. Before taking the job, Martin had left Bloomington to earn his master’s in journalism and then to serve as editor of an English language daily newspaper in Thailand. Now he’s leaving WFHB and Bloomington and will be replaced by one-time WFHB intern Kyrie Greenberg. Martin tells his story in a farewell interview on Big Talk.
Host Michael Glab goes one-on-one with Bloomington’s most fascinating people every Thursday at 5:30pm. Tune in for a bonus feature, Big Talk Extra, every Monday on the Daily Local News at 5:00pm for added chat from the previous week’s show.
