Each week, Baltimore Public Media opens the doors of the WYPR radio studios to reaffirm our commitment to the community by creating space to explore and elevate the stories, people, and issues that matter most to you. We literally invite members of our community to experience the role of hosting for an episode of Pass the Mic.
With the support of T. Rowe Price, the show offers a unique opportunity for community members to select topics and guests, bringing broader perspectives and authentic voices to local conversations. Our goal is to ensure that thoughtful, civil dialogue remains a priority for Baltimore Public Media. Pass the Mic — where our community leads the dialogue
