Coming In January: It's Been A Minute With Sam Sanders

Hi friends,

As you know, we made a change to our Saturday morning line-up this fall when we put Dinner Party Download on at 10 AM, where Car Talk was heard for years.

We didn’t know it when we signed up, but we learned in late October that Dinner Party Download from APM is ending its run.  We’re bummed.  We don’t like changing programs this fast, but we have no choice.

Luckily, we’re in a golden age of radio creativity.  A new generation is making great programs and there are several really good choices.

We’ve chosen It’s Been a Minute with Sam Sanders from NPR.  It launched in October, and we’re hearing a burst of creativity from one of public radio’s brightest new talents.

Here’s how NPR describes it:
“Sam talks with journalists, newsmakers, and listeners about news, popular culture, and the internet -- stories big and small, about all subjects, with equal vigor and interest. This show provides an irreverent, casual space for listeners who don’t know how to process the pace of current events but can’t think about anything else. Sam also spends time with actors, musicians, and comedians, interviewing them in long-form segments that give your listeners a chance to really get to know them.”

Here at WYSO, we’re fans.  We like Sanders’ style and freshness.  He covered the Presidential election for NPR in 2016 but he’s also plugged in to the rest of life in these times.

Once you’ve given it a chance, we hope you‘ll tell us how you like it.

Thanks for your patience and your open minds.

Happiest holidays to you all,

Neenah Ellis
