Only a Game: Austin Howard feature

In the fall of 2018, I had the honor of working with NPR's Only a Game to record Tal Pinchevsky's interview with Sauk Rapids high school hockey player, Austin Howard. Howard was adopted by the Howard family from Haiti after the devastating 2010 earthquake. Once in Minnesota, it didn't take long for Austin to discover a passion for skating and hockey. This piece aired in February 2019 before Howard's team won the MN state championship in their division.
