Two clowns have been bringing an environmental message to school kids in New Jersey for many years

A story now about a couple of clowns, known as the Grand Falloons. Stephen Ringold and Kim Winslow have performed abroad, appeared in pediatric hospital wards and spent the last 17 years doing shows about the environment for New Jersey school children. WBGO’s Jon Kalish attended a recent performance.

Doug Doyle has been News Director at WBGO since 1998 and has taken his department to new heights in coverage and recognition. Doug and his staff have received more than 250 awards from organizations like PRNDI (now PMJA), AP, New York Association of Black Journalists, Garden State Association of Black Journalists and the New Jersey Society of Professional Journalists.
