The Check-In: Friday Cultural Reflections

KBIA
KBIA host Janet Saidi is ready to take calls.

It’s Ramadan and many in our community are fasting throughout the day and breaking fast at midnight as they do every year. But this year, Ramadan is happening virtually because of the coronavirus pandemic. We check in to see how the community is adjusting.

In this episode, we also talk about how the about the landscape of art and culture in Columbia is changing during this crisis -- particularly how visual artists are responding to and creating during this crisis.

Our guests:

Shakir Hamoodi who is a leader with the Islamic Center of Central Missouri.

Heather Lamb who is Vox Magazine Editorial Director and an MU Journalism professor.

To hear the live show, tune in weekdays at noon. Also, you can leave us a voicemail at 877-532-0971 about how you are handling the isolation during the coronavirus pandemic.
