Journalist and activist Thorne Dreyer has interviewed hundreds of people for

since it went on the air in 2009.
Making Waves
features transcripts from twenty-one of those interviews, with everyone from TV anchor Dan Rather to Senator Bernie Sanders to monumental sculptor Bob “Daddy-O” Wade. The
archive is now part of the collections at the Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas.

The Rag
in Austin and
Space City!
in Houston—and later ran a public relations business with a diverse list of clients, including progressive political campaigns.

was bound to whip up.”
