New Programs Coming

1a

Now heard weekdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Ever since the program launched in 2017, 1A’s goal has been to act as a national mirror, taking time to help America look at itself and to ask what it wants to be. 1A looks at both what divides and connects us, and we cover more than just the news. Our guests and conversations embrace pop culture, art, sports, and humor. Our name is inspired by the First Amendment. The five freedoms, as set out in the Constitution, are the rules of the road. The First Amendment protects free speech and a free press. It allows 1A to explore the most important issues facing the country.

Our conversations are better when you share what you know. You can leave a question or comment for 1A at (855) 236-1212.

Join Jenn White weekdays and hear the best of 1A at 9 p.m. weeknights on 1A Plus.

The World

Now heard weekdays at 3 p.m.

The World is public radio’s longest-running daily global news program. Our goal is to engage domestic US audiences with international affairs through human-centered journalism that consistently connects the global to the local and builds empathy for people around the world.

Your host Marco Werman offers a unique perspective on daily news: covering American issues and events through the eyes of foreign observers, and contextualizing foreign affairs for American listeners. The World team does this by consistently working to get direct access to original sources: people on the ground who participate in the events we describe.

Our key areas of focus are global security, women & gender, the environment, migration and public health. From frontline diplomats to refugees in crisis, from environmental scientists in the field to protesters putting their lives on the line and individuals grappling with the impact of global cyberculture, The World starts with individuals at the core of a story and expands from there.
