Takoma Radio’s mission is to build bridges and promote understanding, so when we were invited to take part in an annual project coordinated by Welcoming America, we said yes! The project is called Welcoming Week, and this year it runs from September 13 to 22.
The theme is immigration and inclusion, so WOWD decorated and displays a refurbished door that symbolizes an opening -- into homes, businesses, communities and opportunities.
The community contributed stories and words to the door expressing the credo that all people are valued and are vital to our community and our future.
With the 41st Takoma Park Folk Festival fast approaching (Sunday, Sept. 8), WOWD is inviting a dozen Festival performers into our studios.
Here's the TPFF / WOWD lineup:
-- on TALK OF TAKOMA, which airs Sundays 1-3 PM: Lisa Null on Aug. 11, Kevin Adler (Festival organizer) on Aug. 18, Stream Ohrstrom (drum circles) on Aug. 25, Karen Collins on Sept. 1.
-- on MUSICAL TRADITIONS ENCOUNTERS, Sundays 5-7 PM: Albino Rhino on Aug. 11. (Eryn Michel & Mike Ryan already appeared Aug. 4.)
-- on CHECK-IN TIME, Tuesdays 10 AM-12 PM: Lulu's Fate on Aug. 20, Lilt on Aug. 27
-- on WALKING ON THE MOON, Wednesdays 8-10 PM: Alex Alavi on Aug. 24, Ashleigh Chevalier on Aug. 21; Sonic Spell on Aug. 28
