Code Switch and Life Kit
Sundays at 4 p.m. on 88.5 NEPM
During the first half hour, Code Switch offers fearless and much-needed conversations about race. Hosted by journalists of color, the show tackles the subject of race head-on, exploring how it impacts every part of society — from politics and pop culture to history, sports and more. Then, Life Kit guides you through spaces and feelings no one prepares you for — from finances to mental health, from workplace microaggressions to imposter syndrome, from relationships to parenting. The show enlists experts with real world experience to share their knowledge.
