OUT OF THE BLOCKS - A new series from co-producers Aaron Henkin and Wendel Patrick.
Here's the idea, plain and simple: One hour of radio, one entire city block, everyone's story. Block one : 3300 Greenmount Avenue.
Stay tuned during the weeks ahead for previews, photos, multimedia, the whole nine yards - we're doing this thing big. And when you tune in on November 18/19, you'll hear a program like nothing you've ever heard before on the radio.
