Over the past two years, the possibility of iron ore mining in the Penokee Range has spotlighted these hills and inspired many expressions of concern around issues of the watershed, the economy and the lifestyle and values of the people in northern Wisconsin. The following is a recording of a live broadcast from StageNorth in Washburn of a public reading held on Thursday, March 14, about the Penokee Hills. The reading included nonfiction and fiction stories, as well as poetry, from local writers. Stories and poetry are still being collected for an anthology of stories about the Penokee Range. Also, select stories are being printed as part of an occasional series appearing in the Ashland Daily Press, as well as appearing on the Wisconsin Life website and online publications honestdog.net and littlebigbay.com. Penokees Read will be rebroadcast at a date yet to be announced on Wisconsin Public Radio stations and 97.7 WRNC.

I was enjoying hearing the writers until the broadcast abruptly ended without warning at 9 pm.
I tuned in specifically to hear a friend read his poem, but he had not appeared before the show was yanked.
If a special program like this is to be aired, why was it not broadcast in it’s entirety ?

Alan,
Please forgive me for the extremely late response to your comment. Thank you for making us aware of a programming error that resulted in an incomplete broadcast of Penokees Read. I apologize, and I am looking into the matter. All appropriate measures will be taken to avoid this from happening again in the future.
We will have a recording of the entire event available at some point on the WRNC website. Check back for future posts here. If you have any further questions or comments about the event, please feel free to submit them to dkaeding@northland.edu or call (715) 682-1664.
Thank you again and my most sincere apologies.
-Danielle, WRNC Station Manager
