Live Wire!
- Thursdays, 8:00pm–9:00pm
Live
Wire is radio variety for the attention span challenged. It's music from
up-and-coming bands, original comedy performance and scintillating interviews with writers, filmmakers, comedians
and people who think cool thoughts. Hosted by Luke Burbank (Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, Too Beautiful to Live), the show is taped in
front of a live audience in Portland, Oregon and is aired on public radio
stations around the country.
Live Wire's mission is to harness the intimacy of the theater
experience and the power of the public airwaves to enliven, inspire, and engage
audiences—connecting communities through live music and performance,
unpredictable conversation, and original comedy.
Live Wire focuses on that dynamic shared experience of live
theater and intimacy of radio - telling great stories, playing live music, introduce new
ideas, sparking conversations, and hopefully, making a belly or two laugh!
