About the Show
Tell Somebody
"Tell Somebody" is a locally-produced weekly public affairs program on the air on KKFI since September 2005. Tell Somebody strives to provide in-depth coverage of international, national and local issues on important issues and viewpoints often ignored or distorted in the corporate media.
It’s yet another informed hour of political and social discourse on this morning’s Tell Somebody, when host Tom Klammer welcomes Alternative Radio’s David Barsamian to the show to analyze the current Syria debacle and the controversies surrounding the potential for U.S. involvement. All this and more when you tune in to Tell Somebody, 9AM every Thursday on 90.1 KKFI—Kansas City’s Community Radio.
