Over the past 13 years, Louder than a Bomb, Chicago’s youth poetry competition, has grown from humble roots in the basement of a Division Street theater to selling out the Cadillac Palace Theater. In this hour, we explore the lasting effects of the program on the students and teachers who are a part of it. How has this spoken word program changed their trajectories? Featuring: Jamila Woods, Malcolm London, Dominique James, Nate Marshall, David Gilmer, Demetrius Amparan, Eve Ewing, David Stieber, Missy Hughes, and Jocelyn Hathaway. Hosted by Kevin Coval, and produced by WBEZ’s Bill Healy.
