About Weekend America
Curious, Lively, Unexpected
Weekend America is a place for curious, lively conversations, unexpected stories, and the most compelling ideas about what's happening in America this weekend.
Each week, host John Moe invites listeners to a lively conversation about the issues of the week, the arts, and public affairs. Weekend America features material from the best talent from independent producers and public radio stations around the country.
We have some time, on weekends, to see the world through each other's eyes. To walk in someone else's shoes a bit, and go to places we wouldn't otherwise go. Stop by for a weekly visit with 300 million of your neighbors.
Weekend America is funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and Minnesota Public Radio.
