We Talk 247
Read full descriptionHide full description
We Talk 247 was created after realizing there was a need for more outlets to provide Educational programming for our media outlets. The Founder was inspired to offer a channel/Network with short-form (15 minutes) formatted shows that would not take all day to listen to. Time is valuable! Our Mantra has always been to “Inform the Uninformed” with a local market twist.
