The Preservationists is a monthly radio show hosted by LCPS board member, Astronemis Ray. Each month, Astronemis interviews folks from the community to talk about historic architecture and preservation. Anyone can be a preservationist - students, professionals, children, older generations, and everyone in between - from admirers and enthusiasts of old buildings and architecture to historic homeowners. Historic preservation covers the gamut of capturing and maintaining the character of historic buildings and districts to practicing mindfulness of the carbon footprints we leave behind.
The Preservationists airs every third Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. on KMUN Coast Community Radio 91.9 FM, streaming on www.kmun.org.
