Michael Sheridan is one of the best teachers one could hope to have. He has a genuine commitment to facilitating students’ ability to realize their vision, which is backed by a deep understanding of technology and technique. I had the pleasure of hiring Michael to teach over twenty years, and student reviews were always excellent.

Dear Robin Young and Here and Now,

Waking to NPR and our morning paper, there was paltry or non-existent
coverage of today’s 10th anniversary of our invasion of Afghanistan. I was
grateful to hear Michael Sheridan talking about the Fruits of Our Labor set
of documentaries on Here and Now, putting a human face on a people plagued by and coping with this war that seems to never end.

Best,
Susanne Slavick
