The BIG Experience








Thursdays at 11:00 AM
'The BIG Experience', is a weekly radio broadcast designed to inform the general public of a variety of issues that affect government employees at the Federal, state and local levels as well as inform the overall community of scheduled events with the African-American and other minority communities that might be of interest.

The objective is to broaden the scope of the existing listening base for WFED on issues that often go unnoticed, specifically within minority communities.

Topics will range from discussions on government retirement preparation and financial planning to national events, such as the National Training Conference of Blacks In Government or the 100th Anniversary Celebration of the N.A.A.C.P.

We will also focus on issues related to minority youth, proposed and existing Federal legislation and government career development opportunities.

Listeners will be able to gain new perspectives and new insights to a wide variety of topics, and participate in the "BIG Experience" by challenging their existing beliefs and understandings with new information and facts not often made readily available to the general public.
