100. That’s a wrap for Timeout Radio

Tue, 08/13/2024 - 1:47pm | Rohan

Timeout Radio Wrap Up.JPG

In this 100th episode of Timeout Radio, we bring this show to a close as I highlight its journey over the past 4 years. It has been my privilege to produce and host a radio show that helped connect my community through good and tough times. Hear about how I launched Timeout Radio remotely in 2020 and developed the show's unique voice. A lot has happened in our world since then. Physical distances were magnified by pandemics, misinformation, social injustices, and climate change. And we were brought closer by science, technology, media, and sports. In our place of the week segment we traveled through the airwaves to over 80 places around the globe — from Antarctica to Zurich.
