On Monday September 9, WNYC will continue its Centennial Celebration with a live radio broadcast from Central Park’s SummerStage.

WNYC has been serving listeners in the New York City metro area since 1924. Today, it’s the home of the WNYC / Gothamist independent local newsroom, award-winning local and national public radio shows and podcasts, and the New York conversation on air, online, and out in the community. WNYC is also the sister station of WQXR 105.9 FM, NYC’s sole classical music station.

Hosted by Brian Lehrer, the evening will include some of the most beloved voices you’ve heard on the air and a lineup of conversation, music, trivia, and more. Guests will include On the Media‘s Brooke Gladstone and Micah Loewinger, This American Life‘s Ira Glass, New Sounds’ John Schaefer, All of It’s Alison Stewart, WNYC’s All Things Considered host Sean Carlson, and storytelling from The Moth. Nada Surf joins the previously announced performers Freestyle Love Supreme and mxmtoon, and a DJ set by Donwill. Other guests to be announced – plus a few surprise guests you’ll have to be there to hear!
