Intriguing conversations. Essential Context. News that matters.

It’s an approach that creates stronger communities, and leaves you better informed about the world around you.

It’s radio that matters, every day on WCMU. Listen for the latest news, every hour, on the hour.

Here & Now announces environmental reporting partnership

A new partnership between climate solutions media nonprofit Grist and Here & Now will expand the national show’s environmental coverage. In weekly installments, Grist’s award-winning reporters will join hosts Deepa Fernandes, Scott Tong and Robin Young to help Here & Now listeners understand the far-reaching impacts of rising global temperatures. This collaborative venture has already sparked memorable conversations about western water brokers, green steel in the Rust Belt and foreign aid for climate change in segments that aired this spring.
