Radio Faces

WGLT is excited to announce the return of Radio Faces on Oct. 30, 2025. We will celebrate 20 years of Radio Faces with a presentation and Q&A with a very special guest from NPR. Our special guest will be announced later this month so stay tuned!

The evening also includes an elegant dinner and an opportunity to connect with the WGLT staff and fellow public media fans, hosted at the Illinois State University Bone Student Center Brown Ballroom.

We have come together to celebrate WGLT, NPR, and our public media family since 2005. This year’s event comes at a critical moment following the federal defunding of public media. Join us at Radio Faces to show how much you value WGLT and NPR’s independent, fact-checked journalism and that you stand with and for a Free Press.
