TED Radio Hour
Thursday at 9:00 a.m. on KANW-FM and Saturday at 12:00 p.m. on KANW-2
Based on Talks given by riveting speakers on the world-renowned TED stage, each show is centered on a common theme – such as the source of happiness, crowd-sourcing innovation, power shifts, or inexplicable connections – and injects soundscapes and conversations that bring these ideas to life. Host Manoush Zomorodi talks with each speaker to probe how ideas make waves and get inside people's heads to open up a whole new picture. The TED Radio Hour can also be heard on Saturdays at 12:00 p.m. on KANW-2.
