The Concord Coalition produces a weekly radio show and podcast called "Facing the Future."
Hosted by Chase Hagaman, Concord's Director of Strategic Initiatives, the show dives into topics related to U.S. fiscal policy -- like health care, taxes, national security, the national debt and more -- with budget experts, industry leaders, elected officials and candidates for public office.
Listen to learn more about how the nation’s fiscal and economic challenges -- and possible solutions -- impact current and future generations.
The show is broadcast on Concord, New Hampshire radio station WKXL each week on Wednesdays at 3:00 p.m., with subsequent rebroadcasts on Saturdays at 9:00 a.m. and Sundays at 11:00 a.m.
