Award-winning journalist Katie Thornton has launched a new season of the Peabody-winning podcast, The Divided Dial, produced by On the Media and WNYC Studios. In this season, Katie focuses on shortwave radio—a medium that is near and dear to our hearts.

In Episode 1, “Fishing In The Night”, Thornton explores the international ambitions and shadowy past of shortwave broadcasting. The episode features our friend and resident Shortwaveologist, David Goren, who shares rich insights on the cultural and political influence of the shortwave dial.
