Earlier this month, I got to visit NPR’s Philadelphia Member stations and meet some legendary public media colleagues. These stations have been pillars in the community for decades, sharing arts, ideas, and entertainment across the state of Pennsylvania and beyond. WRTI has been introducing new audiences to the joy of classical and jazz music for more than 75 years. The deep commitment of WRTI’s staff to championing music and the arts as essential civic resources and vehicles for the human spirit really resonates - Radio That Inspires! Thanks so much to Bill Johnson for hosting. WXPN continues to find clever ways to build community around music discovery through its programs and live performances. I had the opportunity to meet the dynamic World Café team, who just got back from interviewing musicians in Japan - thanks Roger LaMay and team! WHYY has long been a Philadelphia community staple. I met campers creating creative short films, met the hosts of Studio 2, and heard about WHYY’s initiative to set up media labs in high schools. I also was able to sit down with the host of one of NPR's most iconic programs, Terry Gross of Fresh Air (having met co-host Tonya Mosley a few weeks ago in LA)… and I also got to meet Bill Siemering, the creator of All Things Considered and author of NPR’s original mission statement! Visiting our Member organizations is one of the best parts of the gig. And big love to the great city of Philly - I can’t wait to be back. #NPR #publicmedia #thinkpublicmedia
