Western Mass “Survivor Stories” Series to Launch on Community Platforms
Westfield Community Programming (WCPC) is launching a new, eight-week series, “Survivor Stories,” which profiles people who have experienced catastrophic circumstances and survive (and thrive). Their stories include recovery from cancer, Bell’s Palsy, suicide of a spouse and more. Mark G. Auerbach, longtime area
media producer and host of WCPC’s “Arts Beat” and “On The Mark” serves as producer and host. Auerbach, who survived simultaneous kidney failure, a massive heart attack, and complicated surgery in the last year, tells TALKERS, “As I fought to get back on my feet, friends and total strangers reached out to tell me how they had coped, survived, and moved on. Thanks to great healthcare people and friends, I’m here to tell my story and share others’ stories. We can learn and be inspired, as we see people conquer what appears impossible.” “Survivor Stories,” premiers this Friday, November 15, at 7:00 am on Westfield Community Programming, 89.5 FM WSKB, Southwick Community TV, and Agawam Media. It will be archived on YouTube under WSKB Community Radio.
