Lehigh Valley Discourse
Thursdays, 6:00-7:00pm

Browse the archives to hear years of Lehigh Valley Discourse recordings, and tune in every Thursday evening starting in 2022 for episodes of: The Jennings Report, Let's Talk, Lehigh Valley Business Beat, Q:LV, The El-Chaar Chronicles, Perspectives, and Charla Comunitaria; you'll also hear programs recorded and produced by students with WDIY's Youth Media Program: Teen Connect, Teen Scientist, Teen Money Matters, and Middle School Perspective.
