Where We Live
Mon. | Tue. | Thu. | 9:00 AM & 8:00 PM, also available as a podcast
Where We Live is a place to hear fascinating, informed, in-depth conversations and stories beyond news headlines. We start local, but we take time to explore domestic and international issues and consider how they impact us here at home.
Listener Note: Starting the week of September 23, Where We Live will move to a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday schedule. We're excited to announce that Disrupted with Khalilah Brown-Dean will move from Wednesday at 2 PM to Friday at 9 AM.
