Truth To Power | Louisville Maker Faire, Part 1 | 9-16-22

On this week's Truth to Power, we bring you highlights from the 2022 Louisville Maker Faire! Forward Radio was thrilled to participate in the 2022 Louisville Maker Faire (http://louisville.makerfaire.com/) held on Saturday, Sept. 10th, from 10am - 6pm, at the University of Louisville's Student Activities Center. Co-hosts Justin Mog and Brian Barnes take you on a tour around the fair, interviewing some of the most creative people you'll ever meet! In part 1, we hear from representatives from: the League of Women Voters; Podcasting & Broadcasting with Forward Radio 106.5fm WFMP-LP Louisville; FirstBuild; and Capitol Custom Bicycles.

Sidelined for two years by the global pandemic, the Louisville Maker Faire returned this fall! Equal parts street festival, science fair and business networking event, the Louisville Maker Faire is “The Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth.” Participants learned how to make and fix stuff with makers ranging from tech enthusiasts to crafters to homesteaders to scientists to garage tinkerers, all sharing the Louisville Maker Faire purpose – to entertain, inform, connect and grow the maker community.

Maker Faire is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what they can do. From engineers to artists to scientists to crafters, Maker Faire is a venue for these makers to show hobbies, experiments, projects, and more. It's a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness. Glimpse the future and get inspired!

On Truth to Power each week, we gather Forward Radio programmers and friends to discuss the state of the world, the nation, the state, and the city! It's a community conversation like you won't hear anywhere else!

Truth to Power airs every Friday at 9pm, Saturday at 11am, and Sunday at 4pm on Louisville's grassroots, community radio station, Forward Radio 106.5fm WFMP and live streams at http://forwardradio.org
