A Platform for Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
Global A Go-Go is a weekly two-hour world music radio program that I've been hosting since
2004. It's usually produced live in the studio and can be heard on both the FM radio band
and as a webstream simulcast. It is rebroadcast on other radio stations, and it's available
as a podcast as well.
LIVE RADIO
Global A Go-Go originates in the studios of WRIR Richmond Independent Radio 97.3 FM in Richmond,
Virginia, USA, from which it is broadcast live every Sunday from 1 to 3 PM Eastern time USA.
A live broadcast has a certain energy and realness that's hard to duplicate in any other format
-- that's what I'm aiming for each week.
