For the better part of a year, the KTOO newsroom has been working on a large project that culminates and launches this week. Mga Kuwento, which means “the stories” in Tagalog, is led by KTOO’s Community Engagement Producer, Tasha Elizarde. Tasha and the team worked with many partners on this project, including Filipino Community Inc., and the Juneau-Douglas City Museum.

This is the full conversation with Tasha about the inspiration behind the project and some details on each of the components: the community celebration, the museum exhibit, and the podcast.
