Worcester: Academically Speaking

Professors McGovern and Davis of Nichols College record a show in the WTAG studios."Worcester: Academically Speaking" was a half-hour radio program that highlighted what Consortium faculty were studying, researching and teaching about, as well as a few of the many ways the colleges collaborated together and with the community from 2002-2007. Sponsored by the Consortium's College Relations Committee, the show aired most recently on WTAG AM580 on Sunday mornings (7:30 - 8:00).  It was hosted first by Paul Bruno and then by James Hannon. Below are MP3 files from the final year's shows.  They may be downloaded and played on software such as Windows Media Player or QuickTime.
