Ahead of the U.S. 250th anniversary, a limited-run show is launching that seeks to place historical context into current issues being debated in American society — free of bias.
“America @ 250: Due Diligence” will be co-hosted by Steven Herman, the executive director of the Jordan Center for Journalism Advocacy and Innovation at the University of Mississippi, and Illinois-based talk show producer Bill Bernardoni.
Herman is a former White House bureau chief of the Voice of America. Bernardoni’s background includes work as a campaign manager and political consultant for candidates from the state to national level.
The one-hour weekend show promises experts from across the political spectrum as featured guests.
“There are few issues-oriented or public affairs radio programs independently produced that are free of intended political bias,” Herman said.
It will be heard on approximately 50 AM and FM radio stations beginning the first weekend in June, with distribution via Talk Media Network, the Public Radio Exchange, the Radio Free America project and on commercial shortwave station WRMI, according to Herman’s Substack.
He said that the show will continue through the end of this year and a weekly online extended version will be on podcast distribution platforms.
