She replaces Joshua Johnson, who left the show last December to join MSNBC as a television 1A / NPR WAMU anchor. Her first day as host is Monday, July 6. With a name that nods to the First Amendment, 1A is a daily, live show that encourages listeners to “speak freely” and stay connected in an increasingly disconnected world. The program provides a platform for Americans of all stripes to come to the table, talk and — most importantly — be listened to, not just heard. “I am excited to build on my love of the news by joining 1A as host, to moderate conversations around the most important issues of our time,” said Jenn White. “1A is a show by, and for our listeners, and I can’t wait to talk to them about the most salient topics facing our country, to find solutions and hold those in Jason Marck / WBEZ Marck Jason power accountable.” THE PULSE It’s About Time Tuesday, July 21 at 10pm The pandemic has warped and stretched time in strange ways, and this week, The Pulse travels back to its episode on time.

But time is also an experience that can vary wildly from one moment to the next — the minutes that stretch endlessly, the hours that fly by. This episode explores time — how it is measured, how it is experienced, and how it Intelligence Squared Intelligence bends and warps in the human mind. 3 Missed the latest NPR hourly newscast?

The collaboration will present an on-air series of broadcasts featuring highlights from ChamberFest concerts from 2012 through 2019. The fascinating selection of eclectic programs and first-rate performances will feature violinist/violist Yura Lee, pianists Roman Rabinovich and Orion Weiss and more. The ChamberFest co-founders, Diana Cohen and Franklin Cohen, will also make an appearance. Chamberfest Cleveland Be sure to enjoy these programs this July!
