WAKEUP CALL

Monday - Friday 6AM - 8AM

Hosted by: Monday-Thursday: Esther Armah | Friday: Felipe Luciano



Tune in to your New York with Wake Up Call, WBAI’s morning talk show hosted by Esther Armah, Mondays through Thursdays and by Felipe Luciano on Fridays. Armah was just awarded ‘Most Valuable in Local Radio' by The Nation newspaper’s 2012 Progressive Honor Roll.

Tune in Monday to Friday,  6 to 8AM, to hear what The Nation newspaper describes as: “emotionally engaging interviews and discussions on social justice, poverty, race, gender, education”. You’ll hear one-on-one interviews, discussions, media panels, call ins, local, national, and global news headlines - it's all on your local morning talk show.

For 2013, we’re joined by New York Times best-selling author and journalist Laura Flanders, who will bring us ‘The “F” Word' every Thursday morning.
