As of today, What's the Frequency, Kenneth?"... has more than 1,000 listens on prx ...and counting. Thank You!

What's the Frequency, Kenneth? is a "newsical" series from an award winning writer/producer.. who spent 24 years writing for Dan Rather on the CBS Evening News and has now returned to his roots in public radio.

Latest Episode: Congress,The White House and the IRS Investigation (told through narration, music and soundbites)

PS check out the generic promo...with trailing audio for local tags.
Each episode explores a single subject with narration... music.... and soundbites. Each episode is also designed to be a stand alone program...running about 55 minutes.

Topics, music and moods vary. Some episodes are time sensitive.

These "newsicals" are subject to the same rules that apply to any other streamed show with music.

After my long stint writing for the CBS Evening News with Dan Rather, I returned to produce a type of radio program that I've not heard elsewhere. Individual episodes and the weekly series have run on..among other places.. WBAI NY, WAZU in Peoria, WRFA LP in Jamestown, NY... WGXC in the Hudson Valley.. WPRR in Grand Rapids, KRFP LP in Moscow, Idaho, WRFI, Ithica NY, KIDE in Northern California, KZFR in Chico, Ca, WYAP LP in West Virginia, WGDR in Vermont, WOOL fm in Vermont and New Hampshire and KEUL fm in Girdwood, Alaska. . I'm still adding new episodes WEEKLY on PRX ;
Pacifica Stations and affiliates may also obtain episodes from Audioport.

EACH EPISODE IS HAND-MIXED FOR MAXIMUM FLAVOR
