Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter John Fullbright joins us for his first visit to eTown with a powerful southern country/rock sound, tonight at 9 on Pioneer 90.1.

When you put two creative, well-known personalities together in conversation, it’s hard to stop listening. Hear for yourself – Friday evenings at 8.

In his new radio series, Here’s the Thing, award-winning actor Alec Baldwin gives the listener unique entrée into the lives of some of today’s most exciting performers.  Baldwin sidesteps the predictable by taking listeners inside the dressing rooms, apartments, and offices of some of the leading creative personalities of our time.

Employing an engaging mixture of curiosity, intelligence and warmth, Baldwin explores what motivates his guests, how they feel about what they do, and what keeps them up at night.
