As part of our collaboration with Bush Radio 89.5FM, South Africa’s oldest community radio station, the next season of the Cornerstone Critical Dialogues will be taking on a new format.
Hosted by veteran news journalist Ryan Fortune and a rotating lineup of guests to be announced in the coming weeks, the Critical Dialogues are now live broadcasts from Bush Radio 89.5FM, which will also be recorded and made available on other platforms.
The show will bring together people of different backgrounds and points of view to discuss issues facing our world in the years ahead. Discussion topics will include the state of higher education, climate change activism, artificial intelligence, and lots more.
Join us on Bush Radio at 7 pm on Thursday 7 October for the first live broadcast. You can keep to date with the Critical Dialogues on our Facebook and YouTube pages.
