On WestSouthwest, NPR Ted Radio Hour host Guy Raz tells us about taking over a "blank room." And State Representative Jon Hoadley on tax credits, the budget, roads and other issues. 

The TED Radio Hour airs every Saturday on WMUK. Host and Editorial Director Guy Raz tells us it was an opportunity that he couldn't pass up. And he explains how the show comes together each week. 

State Representative Jon Hoadley was elected in November. The Kalamazoo Democrat sits down to talk about how the state should handle tax credits creating a budget shortfall, a proposed sales tax increase on the May ballot and other issues before state lawmakers. 

Gordon Evans became WMUK's Content Director in 2019 after more than 20 years as an anchor, host and reporter. A 1990 graduate of Michigan State, he began work at WMUK in 1996.
