Illinois Public Media will host an Illinois 13th Congressional District debate between Republican incumbent Rodney Davis and Democrat challenger Betsy Dirksen Londrigan on Thursday, October 18 in the WILL-TV studio.

Kimberlie Kranich, co-producer of Still Here: Vietnam War Stories from Illinois, talks with Morning Edition host, Brian Moline.

As The 21st celebrates this milestone, Illinois Public Media is excited to announce the addition of a fifth station, reaching an internal goal set by the team before the show even began broadcasting.  

WILL AM-580 is welcoming a new voice to our airwaves beginning Monday, May 1. The talk show 1A will air weekdays from 9-11am, just before Illinois Public Media's daily talk show “The 21st.”

The 21st—a production of Illinois Public Media airing on four public media stations across state—is excited to announce a partnership with Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism. Beginning in May, Host and Executive Producer Niala Boodhoo will be hosting live broadcasts of the show from Medill’s downtown newsroom.
