The creation of a humanities-focused radio show as a means of increasing access to humanities topics in Taos for the TCA’s core audience: K-12 students, University of New Mexico students, the local community, and tourists.

Taos Center for the Arts proposes “TCA Radio Hour: Where We Meet,” a weekly, free and accessible radio show, focused on the humanities as they intersect with Taos and Northern New Mexico communities. The episodes expand and deepen TCA’s humanities programming and general access to the humanities in Taos. TCA cultivates relationships with community members, scholars and guests to foster conversations particularly relevant at this unique moment during the pandemic. Taos, like other small American towns and semi-rural locales, faces intensified questions and increased challenges related to history, religion, racial and cultural divisions, philosophy, language acquisition and heritage. The show will investigate questions around these areas and create space for further conversation. The show will air weekly on KNCE 93.5fm in Taos and stream online. Shows are archived to be available for a wider audience.
