Four syndicated radio show hosts will convene at Lisner Auditorium to conduct a national radio broadcast celebrating President-elect Barack Obama’s inauguration, the University announced Monday.
Bill Press, Ed Schultz, Stephanie Miller, and Randi Rhodes will broadcast for three hours on Sunday, Jan. 18. In addition to marking Obama’s inauguration, the show will look into “the national role progressive talk-radio has played in past presidential inaugurations,” a news release said.
Around 100 student tickets will be available at the Lisner box office starting Tuesday at 11 a.m. A limited number of additional student tickets will be available for $10.
Obama’s inauguration will take place Jan. 20.
