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.
WEBSTREAM SIMULCAST
In addition to broadcasting at 97.3 FM in Richmond, WRIR simulcasts its
programming on a webstream. So if you have a broadband connection and a
media player, you can listen live to Global A Go-Go from anywhere in
the world.
