Radio Faces is our annual celebration of public radio and the people who make it possible. Radio Faces returns – IN PERSON! – the evening of Wednesday, November 8, 2023.
For our 17th annual event, we’re thrilled to host NPR’s Franco Ordoñez. Ordoñez has served as a White House correspondent for NPR since 2019.
Ordoñez has reported from all over the world, including Cuba, Colombia, and from the war in Ukraine. Now, Ordoñez is spending time on the campaign trail as we head into the 2024 general election. He is also a regular contributor to the NPR Politics Podcast.
The event will include a VIP reception and networking with the WGLT team and Ordoñez, dinner, and a lively presentation and Q&A.
Event sponsorships now available, and individual tickets are also for sale.
Questions? Contact WGLT Assistant General Manager Melissa Libert.

About Radio Faces
WGLT has hosted the best of the best in public radio as part of the Radio Faces annual tradition. We last gathered in person for our 15th annual event in 2019 with NPR’s Korva Coleman. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, Radio Faces went virtual in 2021 when we hosted NPR’s Ayesha Rascoe and Don Gonyea.
