Update 3/15/20:New shows for Beyond Theory are postponed until after the age of social distancing. Our ability to do phone-in Guests has changed, with the temporary closing of the wgrn recording studio. Thank you for understanding, and we'll see you on the other side of all this!
Whatis?
Beyond Theory is all about walking your talk. We highlight people doing the work to build a new better world in the shell of this old one. Activists, organizers, artists, and organizations are given a voice so they can tell the world how they are addressing a problem head-on and in doing so, they give inspiration to others to make good happen in their communities.
Independent and Community Media needs your support to thrive. To start up and run this project (without paying any staff or guests) it costs almost $500 per month.
There are several ways to assist this project:
