This summer we’re turning the volume up on live and local content with a brand new show coming to NHPR: Saturday Request Live.
Saturday Request Live airs the last Saturday of every month, from 6 to 8 p.m. Each show celebrates a unique theme, offering a curated mix of songs that span genres, decades, and moods. The playlist is crafted in real time — with your input.
July brings cookouts, fireworks, and celebrations of Independence Day—an opportunity to reflect on the many ways music captures the American experience, including songs that offer diverse perspectives on our nation’s journey.
Which songs and artists come to mind for you? In this inaugural edition of Saturday Request Live, we’ll feature familiar voices like Neil Diamond, John Mellencamp, and The Boss — along with your requests!
Send your song suggestions to music@nhpr.org, or call in live during the show to let host Joe Boehnlein know what you'd like to hear.
