This Saturday (2/18), Vocalo will make it's debut on WBEZ 91.5 FM!  You all know what we do and how we do it. Now we're going to represent on the big station with our own unique mix of music, stories, and conversations. "Vocalo on WBEZ" will be hosted by Jesse Menendez, and will be produced in collaboration with #teamvocalo (Molly, Brian, Shantell, Luis, Sarah, Nick, Fyodor, Jesse De La Peña ), and, well, you. Yes, you!  That's right, our fans and listeners largely inspire the stories that we feature, and this won't be any different. So get ready because Vocalo is taking over the airwaves every Saturday from 8-10pm.

Here's what the team has on deck this Saturday (2/18):

Luis' conversation with Dr. Jesus "Chuy" Negrete, Chicano Musicologist and Founder and Director of the Mexican Cultural Institute, on the role of music in preserving history.

Jesse's interview with Hip-Hop artist Add-2 about his new single "Modern Day Coons" and the role of hip hop in social commentary.  

Brian and Molly's chat with feminist rock star Jaclyn Friedman about her book What You Really Really Want: The Smart Girl’s Shame-Free Guide to Sex & Safety.  

Luis and Shantell's "real talk" discussion with Ameena Matthews, activist and star of the documentary film The Interrupters. 

And a Reggae inspired DJ set from Vocalo's DJ Collective member (& KCRW DJ) Jeremy Sole.
