Originally aired:

The 11th Annual Homelessness Marathon, a national radio dialogue on poverty and housing in the US, will take place for 14 hours next Wednesday night through Thursday morning, February 20-21. Once again, WMBR will be among more than 100 stations airing this unique 14-hour program. Originating this year in Nashville, the Marathon is a live, outdoor, broadcasting event featuring homeless people, advocates for the homeless and call-ins from the public. A broadcast booth is set up outside, with open mics for people who are out on the street in Nashville that night. The national broadcast starts 7pm Wednesday and continues through 9am Thursday. The WMBR News Department is also producing a one-hour program on homelessness in Greater Boston, which will air 6-7pm Wednesday, immediately preceding the national broadcast.

Location: 88.1 FM
