Sundays, Aug. 15–29, at 11 a.m. on 90.5 FM & STREAMING | NPR’s important Code Switch makes the jump from podcast to a weekly show, and in the second part of the hour, Life Kit offers tips, resources and guidance on a wide range of topics.

What's Code Switch? It's the fearless conversations about race that the community been waiting for. Hosted by journalists of color, the podcast tackles the subject of race with empathy and humor. The program explores how race affects every part of society — from politics and pop culture to history, food and everything in between. This podcast makes all part of the conversation — because everyone is part of the story.

Code Switch was named Apple Podcasts' first-ever Show of the Year in 2020.

WKAR has closed the gap left by the loss of federal funding. Because of you, trusted journalism, inspiring stories, and classical music remain freely available to everyone in mid-Michigan.
Now the work continues — your monthly gift helps maintain this success and keeps public media free for all.
