Making Contact is an award-winning, 29-minute weekly documentary-style public affairs program heard on over a hundred radio stations in the United States and across the world.

Making Contact tells stories that go beyond the breaking news to showcase voices and perspectives often excluded by corporate media. We focus on the human realities of politics and the connections between local and global events through a social justice lens. We are committed to uplifting the voices of people and movements who are doing the work on the ground and to the practice of movement journalism as a means of social change.
