World Central Kitchen Founder José Andrés, former Ambassadors John Bolton, Rahm Emanuel, and Samantha Power, civil rights attorney and author Bryan Stevenson, former Washington Post and Boston Globe editor Marty Baron, special advisor to the Director General of the World Health Organization Dr. Ezekiel J Emanuel, actor and comedian David Cross, Tom Nichols of The Atlantic, Mike Gillis of The Onion, and Dropkick Murphys founder Ken Casey.
What do these thought and innovation leaders have in common? They’re taking center stage in Boston at The WBUR Festival Friday, May 29 and Saturday, May 30.
Launched last year to mark WBUR’s 75th anniversary, the second edition of The WBUR Festival will bring together local, national, and international leaders, policy makers and media figures who shape our world. When WBUR first went on the air in 1950, it operated as a 400-watt non-commercial educational radio station. Today, WBUR is one of the strongest local newsrooms in America — reaching millions of people in Boston and beyond with its independent and award-winning journalism on air, online, on demand and on stage.
Tickets for The WBUR Festival are available now. Count yourself in for captivating conversations on the most consequential issues, as well as musical performances and a lively street scene. Your ticket provides more than access to this celebration — it’s also a direct investment in the principled, deeply-reported journalism you count on from WBUR.
