New voices coming on the air.
New voices coming on the air.

Help us welcome seven new voices to the station, launching six brand-new local shows starting in February. The lineup includes five talk-based shows, one music show, and one talk/music hybrid, covering a wide range of perspectives and creative concepts. From spotlighting nonbinary and queer music artists, to call-in conversations on community issues and politics, to news and interviews on politics and economics through a working-class and social justice lens, these shows bring fresh energy and insight to our airwaves. You’ll also hear explorations of underrepresented healthcare topics from medical professionals and a parody-driven take on classic radio tropes.
