Winner of the Public Radion Talent Quest, State of the Re:Union is a new public radio show that aims to show listeners how we are more alike than we are different and the many ways our differences are celebrated. Multi-facted artist Al Letson employs his talents to discover how a particular city, town or area creates a community. From Washington, DC to Jena, Louisiana, SOTRU will travel our great country one significant spot at a time to capture the stories, the challenges, and the culture that not only make it unique, but work together like chords to compose our rich commonwealth.

Transcending a glorified travel guide, State of the Re:Union finds the resonating fragments that create the cornerstone of every community. Hear from the artists, activists, politicians, teachers, preachers and every day people that are making a difference arranged with the music, sounds and styles born of the area in focus.

Sure, things fall apart, our job is to put them back together.
