Here’s your round-up of the latest WORT News & Talk stories! Thank you for supporting WORT Community Radio.♥

The June 29th APA show featured a prominent international organization, the AI Resist List. You’ve probably heard that the AI boom is “inevitable,” but a global network of researchers, journalists, and scholars is fighting that narrative with the newly launched AI Resist List. It’s a publicly accessible, collaboratively built website that champions projects that are fighting Big Tech’s vision of AI. This week on A Public Affair, host Douglas Haynes spoke with climate communicator Heidi Lim about grassroots resistance and alternative AI futures.

Yesterday on A Public Affair, local reporter Enjoyiana Nururdin chatted with Nick Pjevach about the local music scene—from the best concerts and summer festivals to how the city could better address equity in arts and entertainment.

We wait until the end of the on-air and online-only parts of pledge drives before we place an order for any thank-you gifts that require sizes. That way, everyone gets the size and color they want — we don't run out of anything.
We will be placing the order for the new "Truth is Here" T-shirt this Wednesday, and it should arrive at WORT in mid-July. (We were delayed by the huge response to our Summer Drive). After counting, inspecting, and mailing, figure another week or so to get to your door.
Thank you for being so generous. Thank you for wanting to proclaim your allegiance to the station. Over 200 shirts were requested, another record for a summer drive (it's usually 72 or so). Please email me if you are a monthly donor and would like one of the new T-shirts BEFORE WEDNESDAY, June 24. I will need size (Small - 5X) and color: Dark Gray, Olive, Orange, Navy.

Thank you for making this drive so successful!
