Its not your typical radio station. Rather, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati has introduced “Freedom Radio,” an online audio magazine of interviews and commentary on the general themes of freedom and opportunity promoted by the Center.

The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center itself is an extraordinary place - one that analyzes both the powerful historical and modern yearnings for freedom and equality.  The tangible artifacts of the past on display there inform that journey.

We are also most proud that the host is “one of our own” at Preservation Ohio. The amazing Carl Westmoreland, in addition to serving as Senior Advisor of Historic Preservation at the Freedom Center and also being a recipient of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Louise Dupont Crownishield Award, is also President Emeritus of the Ohio Preservation Alliance, Inc., Preservation Ohio's corporate organization.

The website of the Freedom Radio project profiles upcoming programs, which include topics such as “Harriett Beecher Stowe's Legacy's Impact on Today's World.” The site includes audio of the inaugural program, which includes a look at the history of the Freedom Center. It is well worth a visit and a listen.
