Award Winning Radio
produced by
Artemis Common Ground

If you think that the radio is boring and it's just a way to listen to music when you don't have the Internet, you're deeply mistaken. Or you haven't listened to the radio long ago, because there are several award-winning stations that can change your opinion on the radio. The interview program on Home Ground Radio is what can help you reassess what you like listening to. Perhaps, it's better to start exploring podcasts and getting tons of helpful information? It'll be beneficial for college students who spend hours finding information to do homework but then decide to buy powerpoint presentation because there's no relevant information on the Internet. We don't want to say that getting online help is wrong or so, but improving your background knowledge is also important when you're a student. It's great that you can manage your own time delegate assignments you don't want to do. Professional writers don't just do your assignments — they help you get rid of all the worries and get only the highest grades to improve your academic performance.

Home Ground's guests tell us who they are, what they think, and what they are doing about it. Those diverse stories help us to think more deeply - about what we believe and why. Our guests engage in in-depth conversations about our past, present, and future. We talk about the economy, our religious views, schools, courts, wolves, medicine, the timber industry, conservation, life in prison, life on the farm... We discuss our most serious personal, political, and community values, and our place in the larger world.

We honestly explore conflict and controversy, and at the same time honor our shared values - the often-overlooked "common ground" of diverse community interests. We treat our guests and audience with respect - at times by asking fair but tough questions. Our listeners appreciate hearing differing viewpoints, and care about our shared responsibility as informed citizens of the West, the United States, and the world. On the air more than 20 years, we've done more than 1,000 shows. One listener describes Home Ground as "a cumulative portrait of our culture in transition." We appreciate the compliment.
