Interview with Laura Wheat - No Music
(Just the interview, no music)

Finding ways to process grief while navigating the COVID-19 pandemic has been difficult. WUOT’s Chrissy Keuper spoke with Laura Wheat, Assistant Professor of Counselor Education at the University of Tennessee and Director of the Grief Outreach Initiative.

Chrissy served as WUOT's News Director and host of monthly public affairs talk show Dialogue from late 2021 to early 2023. Her first job with the station was as weekend student announcer while earning her bachelor's in Anthropology from the University of Tennessee. She had previously been the station's local host for NPR's Morning Edition and All Things Considered news programs; occasionally filled in as host for WUOT's Morning and Afternoon Concerts; and won multiple awards for her interviews, feature stories, and Dialogue.
