The subject matter covered falls into three broad categories: the community, the workplace and the environment. We are opinionated and take a pro-union, pro-nonviolence, multicultural and leftist point of view on the issues we cover; we do not pretend to be an unbiased or balanced, since opposing opinions can be heard elsewhere on the FM and AM radio dials.

Popular features include "Between the Lines" from WPKN in Bridgeport CT, "Making Contact" from the National Radio Project, TUC radio (tucradio.org) , "Voices Of Our World" from Maryknoll (Mondays). At 10:30 on Wednesday, we have our popular "Environmental Corner", with live interviews and updates on environmantal issues. On Thursday, Isa Cann hosts The Long View, a segment about sustainable development.
