Event Date: 
Saturday, January 22, 2022 - 3:00pm

Chris Woolf was a broadcast journalist with the BBC World Service for 34 years. He worked in London, Afghanistan, southern Africa, but mostly in the United States, where he became the News Editor of public radio’s main international news show, “The World.” (He was on-air for many years as the show’s “History Guy.”)  His 2021 book, “Bumbling Through the Hindu Kush: A Memoir of Fear and Kindness in Afghanistan” documents his personal experience of war and resilience, stuck behind rebel lines on the wrong side of the mountains, in 1991. In addition to writing, Woolf runs a voiceover company he co-founded here in Franklin in 2018, called The Voice Depot. This program is free and open to the public.
