1A
Weekdays 10am
1A is a show for a changing America.
Every day, public radio convenes a conversation about the most important issues of our time.
With a name inspired by the First Amendment, 1A explores important issues such as policy, politics, technology, and what connects us across the fissures that divide the country. The program also delves into pop culture, sports, and humor. 1A's goal is to act as a national mirror -- taking time to help America look at itself and to ask what it wants to be.
