With their combined 100 years in radio broadcasting, these three Eastham locals come together to share stories, some of which wound up on the cutting room floor!

Spanning the decades from 1969 to this week, 3 on-air radio broadcasters share a few memories of exciting behind-the-scenes experiences working with community leaders from Provincetown to Cambridge, from DC to Truro, England, encounters with “movers and shakers” from Jesse Jackson, Bonnie Raitt and Ronald Reagan to Louise Erdrich, Mike Dukakis, Bruce Springsteen, and Abby Hoffman.

Bob Seay was host for WGBH’s Morning Edition for seven years and is still reporting for NPR. Margot Stage anchored programs for WBUR and WGBH from the 80’s to the aughts, including All Things Considered. Deb Ullman did morning drive music programming and hosting in Boston at WBCN, and in Cleveland, Boulder and five other cities during the 70’s and a jazz program at WOMR, Provincetown, through the 90’s.

Come hear some amazing radio stories and ponder together how radio still matters in these days when electronic multi-media information streams into our lives from all directions.

Live at the Chapel and on Zoom.
