It's Sunday and you're thinking, "Repeats on TV, what am I going to do!" Turn on the radio (or computer, all shows featured can be heard online). What might you hear? Music fan? There's plenty being offered from Chico Alvarez to Nancy LaMott. Looking for theater? There's a play set in the civil rights era. Want politics? How about a challenger trying to win a primary against an incumbent Congressional war hawk? Or the issues of poverty or air quality? There's all that and a lot more. So here are some radio highlights for Sunday. Please note that Radio Chronicles and Act One Radio Drama are only available for seven days. If you're reading this on Monday or Tuesday, you can listen via the archives. If you're reading this on June 12th or later, you've missed it.
