RadioACTive Pop! Celebrates Roots, Race & Culture

Lonzo Liggins and Danor Gerald have been the co-hosts of Roots, Race & Culture on PBS Utah for eight seasons. However, the demise of the federally funded Corporation for Public Broadcasting led to a $4M funding gap at the local public television station. As a result, RRC and nearly all of the station's locally produced programs have been cut. Olivia and Lara talk with them about the experience, current events, and what comes next.
