Tavis Smiley and Cornell West have been on the radio recently acting like a team. This hard work has gained them success in the radio world and world of syndication.
"Smiley & West" is ready for takeoff. After a four-month pilot process in more than 60 markets across the country, listeners and stations said "We want more!"
That's why broadcasting icon Tavis Smiley, Smiley Radio Properties and Public Radio International are pleased to announce that "Smiley & West" is now officially a weekly program.
Alisa Miller, President and CEO of Public Radio International says, "Tavis Smiley and Cornel West bring a rare dynamism and authenticity to conversation, and a heart-felt dedication to invite listeners to take part in the exchange of ideas and bring wisdom to thought-provoking topics. Smiley and West underscores PRI's commitment to offer new places to discover our diverse, interconnected world, and to stimulate important conversations in American society, and we are excited to distribute it to audiences nationwide."
What started as an experiment on October 1, 2010 has become an online and offline phenomenon. Co-hosted by Tavis' longtime friend and collaborator, Princeton professor Cornel West, "Smiley & West" is not just a radio program. It's a seven-day-a-week conversation on the Speak Out Network via the website www.smileyandwest.com, social media like Twitter and Facebook, and an "old-fashioned" Speak Out Network hotline.
