This week, Delaware Public Media celebrated its 10th anniversary of being on the air as Delaware’s first and only NPR member station.

Over its first 10 years, DPM has covered a lot of stories – coverage made possible by a roster of terrific anchors and reporters who believed in the mission of providing public media style reporting to the First State – and delivered it day in and day out.

For this week’s Enlighten Me, a group of those anchors and reporters caught up with The Green, offering their reflections on working at DPM and what it meant to them.
