New voices coming on the air.
To kick off the new year, we’re thrilled to 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.
The new programmers are Aidan Gongloff-Piche, Ari Erlbaum, Fern Sutton-Smith, Nicole Valcour, Traven Leyshon (co-hosting a new show with Joseph Gainza), Walt Amses (co-hosting a new show with Steve Farnham), and Fia Prestigiacomo. We’ll update folks on show start dates and the updated schedule soon. Be sure to tune in and help us welcome these new folks when their shows debut!
