Sprouts
Sprouts Radio from the Grassroots is a 30-minute weekly program featuring radio programs produced at community radio stations or by other independent producers from across the country and sometimes around the world.
We share Grace Cavalieri‘s lively interview of Washington DC jazz poet Fareedah Allah from a 1990s edition of “The Poet and the Poem”, a show that is in its 40th year. Fareedah recites numerous poems, including one written especially for Black History Month. The show also touches on the history of Pacifica station WPFW, the first Black-managed public radio station in the U.S.
