Glynn Washington is the host of SNAP Judgement, the storytelling program set to a beat.

Glynn and SNAP are in Detroit this week with their live stage show. He stopped by Detroit Today to join host Stephen Henderson for conversation about his life, and what brought him to public radio. 

Glynn and Stephen talk about; why Glynn’s family moved from Detroit to a rural farm in the thumb region of Michigan, growing up in a white supremacist Christian cult, leaving the cult and travelling the world… all before heading off to law school and stumbling into storytelling with SNAP.

It’s a conversation you won’t want to miss.
