  • <h4 class="lw_blurbs_title">Kanin Clark</h4><div class="lw_blurbs_body"><p> I am a Mass Communications and History double major from Abingdon, Virginia. As a senior, I have participated in most forms of campus media at Emory & Henry. After discussing opportunities with the WEHC station manager, I decided to accept an offer for an internship as a student station manager. As such, I assist in the daily operations of WEHC, including managing student employees. After a semester of working at WEHC, I have gained an appreciation for the student-led emphasis on programming and management of the station. <picture class="lw_image lw_image10453 lw_align_left"><source media="(max-width: 500px)" type="image/webp" srcset="/live/image/scale/2x/gid/52/width/500/height/352/crop/1/src_region/505,0,3180,1883/10453_DSC_0939.rev.1635789075.webp 2x, /live/image/scale/3x/gid/52/width/500/height/352/crop/1/src_region/505,0,3180,1883/10453_DSC_0939.rev.1635789075.webp 3x" data-origin="responsive"/><source media="(max-width: 500px)" type="image/jpeg" srcset="/live/image/scale/2x/gid/52/width/500/height/352/crop/1/src_region/505,0,3180,1883/10453_DSC_0939.rev.1635789075.jpg 2x, /live/image/scale/3x/gid/52/width/500/height/352/crop/1/src_region/505,0,3180,1883/10453_DSC_0939.rev.1635789075.jpg 3x" data-origin="responsive"/><source media="(min-width: 501px)" type="image/webp" srcset="/live/image/scale/2x/gid/52/width/609/height/429/crop/1/src_region/505,0,3180,1883/10453_DSC_0939.rev.1635789075.webp 2x, /live/image/scale/3x/gid/52/width/609/height/429/crop/1/src_region/505,0,3180,1883/10453_DSC_0939.rev.1635789075.webp 3x" data-origin="responsive"/><source media="(min-width: 501px)" type="image/jpeg" srcset="/live/image/scale/2x/gid/52/width/609/height/429/crop/1/src_region/505,0,3180,1883/10453_DSC_0939.rev.1635789075.jpg 2x, /live/image/scale/3x/gid/52/width/609/height/429/crop/1/src_region/505,0,3180,1883/10453_DSC_0939.rev.1635789075.jpg 3x" data-origin="responsive"/><img alt="Kanin Clark in the WEHC studios" data-caption="Kanin Clark in the WEHC studios" src="/live/image/gid/52/width/609/height/429/crop/1/src_region/505,0,3180,1883/10453_DSC_0939.rev.1635789075.jpg" srcset="/live/image/scale/2x/gid/52/width/609/height/429/crop/1/src_region/505,0,3180,1883/10453_DSC_0939.rev.1635789075.jpg 2x, /live/image/scale/3x/gid/52/width/609/height/429/crop/1/src_region/505,0,3180,1883/10453_DSC_0939.rev.1635789075.jpg 3x" data-max-w="2675" data-max-h="1883" loading="lazy" data-optimized="true"/></picture></p></div>

He taught for 35 years at Emory & Henry College where he used music in most all of his classes to let the “people’s voice” into the classroom. He is a long-time peace, social justice, and Appalachian activist and has seen the importance of music in people’s daily lives and struggles. <em>Although he can’t carry a tune and doesn’t play an instrument since he sold his high-school band clarinet, music is most certainly at the core of his life.</em> Being able to hear live music on a regular basis is part of what keeps him happy and sane. He has eclectic musical tastes that include Americana, alternative country, folk, blues, rock, and the explicitly political. <em>He’s been in love with Emmylou Harris for almost 40 years and plays her songs regularly on his show but she still won’t respond to his letters.</em></p></div>
