Dorthaan Kirk on the Legacy of WBGO’s Record Fair

In this episode, we dive into the rich history of The Record Fair, a special concert series that began as a gathering for record collectors and evolved into a major event celebrating vinyl, jazz, and community.

Discover how this fair became a pivotal performance incubator for rising artists, including the late Roy Hargrove. We also honor the contributions of Rita Keith, WBGO's Membership Services Coordinator, and the late Bob Porter, who, along with Kirk, transformed the fair into a cornerstone of Newark Public Radio’s fundraising efforts.

Tune in for an inspiring look at the people and passion behind this iconic event.
