Incoming Radio is produced by So Say We All, a 501c3 literary and performing arts nonprofit–in collaboration with San Diego public broadcaster KPBS–with the mission to provide a platform for the true stories of the men and women of America’s military, told in their own words, straight from their own mouths.
Originally created in the form of a print anthology and storytelling showcase series by So Say We All through the Cal Humanities “War Comes Home,” initiative, Incoming provided creative writing workshops to veterans throughout Southern California at no cost, and solicited veteran writers across the nation to submit their works on the subject.
Thanks to the KPBS Explore Project, Incoming has been able to present those stories on-air and online since 2014. The collection as a whole is intended to serve as an oral history archive of pre and post-9/11 veterans’ experiences–with both being deployed and coming home from war–and veteran culture as a whole.
We hope this show serves as a catalyst for conversations we’re all better off having, makes our veteran and veteran family listeners realize they aren’t alone, and helps to educate civilians about their military.
