New Hampshire Public Radio’s daily afternoon news program All Things Considered will join Seacoast newsmakers in Portsmouth on Tuesday, Aug. 6, to highlight issues and topics on the minds of locals in the region.
Host Peter Biello and the NHPR team will broadcast live segments from Portsmouth Book & Bar, a bookstore in the heart of downtown Portsmouth. Attendees can see first-hand how radio is made, while enjoying the amenities of this historic community gathering space.
