The Wolfsonian-FIU, WLRN + New Tropic present RadioFest

Saturday, March 11th from 10am-9pm Podcast lovers, music buffs, and fiction fans rejoice as The Wolfsonian teams up with WLRN Public Media and The New Tropic to throw RadioFest, a 1-day love letter to radio history, storytelling, and retro tech! Miamians have the chance to have their voices featured in radio stories crafted right before their eyes by the pros at WLRN, AND be the first to experience the world premieres of 4 original radio plays based on actual, real-life South Florida news. 

Friends from Jolt, Klangbox, Wynwood Radio, and Moonlighter Makerspace are also lending their time for a suite of amazing talks and interactive activities, plus we’ll have a killer display of vintage radios from Miami-based collector Harvey Mattel—a unique opportunity to check out super-chic throwback designs rarely on public view. Don’t miss this tribute to the technology at the core of communication and connection in the modern world.
