VOICES Radio Hour
VOICES Radio Hour airs from 6-7 p.m. on the second Friday of each month
VOICES Radio Hour is presented by VOICES in collaboration with Circa 71 Productions. This series is part of VOICES’ latest project in response to our intrinsic need to share stories, coupled with Circa 71 Productions’ mission to preserve memories and stories as the sacred archeology of our loved ones. The collaboration will bring about collected stories under different themes and voices from all walks of our community in the monthly VOICES Radio Hour. We hope this serves to preserve our oral history of who we are, where we come from, and who we aspire to be, through the tradition of storytelling.

In this era of social media and 24-hour news on demand, we have never been more able to escape down the rabbit hole into our own ideologies. This new initiative centers on one-on-one conversations about tough topics in a safe and supportive setting. VOICES aims to build connection and understanding that chips away at the walls that have built up between us as a society.
