LIVE WIRE RADIO INC

PORTLAND, OR

    • Mission

    Live Wire's mission is to harness the intimacy of the theater experience and the power of the public airwaves to enliven, inspire & engage audiences - connecting communities through live music and performance, unpredictable conversation, and original comedy. We believe life is filled with inspired people doing fascinating and sometimes ridiculous things. We want to introduce you to those people. We believe artists are critically important to the world, and should be rewarded for their work. We believe "culturally relevant" and "funny" aren't mutually exclusive. We believe that through the shared experience of live theater and the intimacy of radio, we can tell great stories, introduce new ideas, spark conversations, and hopefully, elicit a belly laugh or two.
