WFPK/Louisville Launches New Syndicated Interview Series With Host Kyle Meredith

Home Of New Show

LOUISVILLE PUBLIC RADIO Triple A WFPK announces The Speed Of Sound, a new interview series with on-air host and music director KYLE MEREDITH.  The series includes music selections and commentary by artists in seven minute segments.  The Speed Of Sound will debut with interviews with Paul McCartney and U2 TODAY (9/8) at 1:30 p.

“The design of the show borrows from the way NPR might craft a musician segment, which isn’t a format that exists too often on music formats,” said MEREDITH.  “The interviews themselves lean more toward entertaining banter, sometimes funny, and often insightful.  The idea is that, within that seven minutes, even if you don’t know the artist, you’ll get a really great idea of them once it’s over thanks to music within the interview format.”

The program will air TUESDAYS and THURSDAYS on WFPK and nationally on 17 affiliate stations via PRX.

• 9/07 – PAUL MCCARTNEY & U2
