Tentang podcast ini
Groundcover Speaks is a blind and print disabled accessible audio archive of Groundcover News. Groundcover News is a nonprofit, community street paper based in Washtenaw County, Michigan. The physical newspapers can only be purchased on the downtown street corners of Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti from Groundcover vendors, who sell the papers for an income. Groundcover Speaks is produced through a collaboration with 5th Avenue Studios and Groundcover News to bring the voices of Groundcover News vendors to more community members.
