Weekdays 5-5:30 p.m.
WGLT's Sound Ideas is our flagship news program. Every weekday, WGLT reporters go beyond soundbites for deeper conversations with newsmakers, musicians, artists, and anyone with a story to share. This 30-minute newsmagazine is produced Monday through Friday.
We recently changed audio-hosting providers. Please access the new podcast feed using the services or RSS feed listed below, or contact us at news@wglt.org if you have other issues.
