Unknown America is an FM radio show on WGXC 90.7 FM every Sunday at 3:30 PM EST, graciously hosted by Wave Farm. It dives into places, people, events, and other aspects of American history that often go overlooked. Through occasional interviews, on-site reporting, frantically obsessive research, and personal accounts, the listener will emerge out the other side just a bit wiser and more curious about the forgotten footnotes of history that make America fascinating, curious, and complicated. I hope you’ll tune in!
