“Be Bold America!” is a live, talk show, on KSQD 90.7FM, for those who are motivated to step out with the actions necessary to begin reuniting this country and saving our democracy.
Given the challenges ahead, we’ll need to be our own superheroes, individually and collectively, becoming super-citizens who are fearless, daring, and bold. Our future depends on it.
We were proud to be that “beacon on the hill”, now, like climate change, Democracy has become a partisan issue. When and why did that happen?
On “Be Bold America!” we’ll not only talk about issues, we’ll identify actions, and solutions. Experts will tell us what we must Keep doing, Stop doing, and Start doing to recapture our democracy.
Join me, my community guests and topic experts to explore issues and to identify constructive and compelling actions on “Be Bold America!” Sundays at 5 PM, biweekly, on KSQD 90.7 FM.
We have big things to do.
