NPR’s Steve Inskeep reflected on the future of public media, democracy and how our past is connected to the present to a sold-out crowd celebrating 20 years of WGLT’s Radio Faces on Oct. 30 at Illinois State University.
Radio Faces is WGLT's semimanual celebration of public radio and the people who make it possible. That includes new inductees into WGLT's Hall of Fame.
Special guest NPR CEO Katherine Maher joined Inskeep to share her outlook on the resilience of public media and the future of the NPR Network.
