3rd Annual Workshop

At the third annual workshop, the guest of honor was Taki Telonidis of the Western Folklife Center. This year's workshop was extra special because of our guests from Indiana University including Jon Kay and a number of Folklore and Ethnomusicology students. The two day conference included a talk by Taki Telonidis about his work with NPR and the Western Folklife Center, a discussion with Telonidis, Brady, and Kay about public folklore and radio, lunch at Taj Palace, and a potluck dinner.
