There’s a new show on WFHB called “Autism Rocks and Rolls” – a podcast started by Sam Mitchell when he was 16 to talk about his experiences living with autism. The show airs weekly on Tuesdays at 5:30pm – that’s right after the Tuesday edition of the WFHB Local News. Autism Rocks and Rolls is now more than just a podcast – it’s grown into a nonprofit organization managed by Sam’s mom, Gina Mitchell. Together Sam and Gina are on a mission to break down misconceptions and stereotypes about people on the spectrum, and she’s here to tell you their story.

Activate! is a partnership between WFHB and the City of Bloomington Volunteer Network, working together to build a strong, healthy and engaged community. You can learn more about volunteer opportunities in the WFHB listening area at bloomingtonvolunteernetwork.org
