Coverage of war and politics can quickly devolve into a haze
of statistics, strategies, and expert predictions. Lost are
the completely real effects policy decisions have on real
people around the world. We at War News Radio are trying to rediscover the voices
of real people. Our show fills the gaps in the media’s coverage
by airing new perspectives, both personal and historical, in a
balanced and in-depth manner. We hope our broadcasts will engage
our listeners and inspire them to engage critically with the
rest of the world.
