Host/Executive Producer – The 21st

Illinois Public Media is looking for a host to take the helm of its successful statewide talk show, The 21st.

The show has been in operation for just three years, and it’s already won multiple local and national awards - and expanded to air on five NPR member stations throughout Illinois. In doing so, The 21st  has established an audience that looks to us to connect them to the rest of the state.  Listeners and guests expect to be treated with dignity and respect and are used to having difficult and important conversations, but also enjoy fun ones, too.

Are you the person to take The 21st to the next level?
