Kay Wood

Kay Wood will create, produce, and host an hour-long radio show twice monthly called Planet Philadelphia on Gtown Radio, a small local radio station in the heart of Germantown. Through her social justice engagement over the last several years, she has met many people who are dedicated in their efforts to make the world a better place. They will inspire the show’s research, stories and interviews. Kay will record and edit the interviews as well as select the environmental news, music, and activity announcements as an entertaining platform to learn about the environment.

Kay will create a graphic novel called The Big Belch, a work that uses humor to capture the reader while raising consciousness around serious environmental issues. The Big Belch begins when Big Oil, causes an enormous oil spill that produces vast ecological destruction in the Gulf of Mexico. The graphic novel will attempt to engage audiences outside of the environmental activist community and include them in discussions about the effects of fossil fuel energy and climate change.
