There is no greater opening to possibility than the birth of an idea, created out of inspired imagination and spread far and wide at the speed of light. It is with total delight that we announce the TED Radio Hour. "Talks" from the legendary TED stage are coming to radio for the first time and in a new format that will intrigue curious listeners and stir the imagination. 

Comedian and storyteller Ophira Eisenberg hosts this rambunctious radio hour that blends brainteasers and local pub trivia night with comedy and music from house musician Jonathan Coulton. Listeners can play along with audience members and special guests, which have included Will Shortz, Steve Gutenberg, and Dr. Ruth.  Tuesdays at 9pm.

Andrea Seabrook, who covered Capitol Hill for NPR for a decade, has launched an independent reporting project called DecodeDC – and now, you can hear her reports on KALW every other Thursday at 5:30pm, right after Crosscurrents. 

Andrea was a guest on Your Call’s media roundtable in December – here’s some of what she had to say about Washington, the news media, and her aims for DecodeDC:

True stories told live on stage without scripts, notes, props, or accompaniment.  Each hour mixes humorous and heartbreaking tales told with honesty, bravery, and wit.  Now Sundays at 6pm.
