Introducing ‘And Another Thing’

Remember what it’s like to go to a party? You walk in and immediately notice a cluster of people having an animated discussion about something you really care about. You want to be part of it.

That’s how you’ll feel when you tune in for ‘And Another Thing’ NEPM’s new live, interactive audio experience, launching this April on NEPM 88.5. The show will give a local take on important issues, inviting you in to be part of the discussion, and even help build the show. Every morning, ‘And Another Thing’ will share the topic for the evening show and give listeners the chance to interact and weigh in. Then, the team will roll up their sleeves to put everything in place for the 6 p.m. live show.

Hosts Dara Kennedy and Maya Shwayder will guide the conversation and talk to local experts and people from our region, bringing journalistic chops, a passion for real conversation, and a dash of levity and humor to your evening routine.  

“Dara Kennedy and Maya Shwayder represent the future of public media producers. They are digital-native, global in perspective and operate with the best of journalistic principles,” said Maxie C. Jackson, III, NEPM’s Chief Content Officer. “We are excited to have them join NEPM and look forward to the innovative interactive experience that they are creating with ‘And Another Thing.’”
