What will the jazz radio of the future sound like? This is part two of our Talking Jazz series on jazz radio. Our panelists are making the radio of the future today and will tell you how they do it as they prepare for changes to come for radio producers and listeners and will share their experiences in serving existing audiences while trying to develop new jazz listeners. You are invited to watch the live panel discussion on Google Hangouts and post your own questions and comments for the panel. (If you missed Part 1 on Nov 19 you can view it here.)
