What’s ahead for you as a jazz radio programmer or listener? In this, the first program in our second series of JJA “Talking Jazz” webinars, we  focus on the medium that’s supported the music almost since its inception. But jazz radio, like the rest of the radio  industry, is undergoing profound change.  The advent of new digital and online media have presented both challenges and opportunities for jazz radio programmers.   Our panel of  seasoned jazz d.j.s will  share their experiences in serving  existing audiences while trying to develop new jazz listeners.   You are invited to watch the live panel discussion on Google Hangouts and post your own  questions and comments for the panel.
