Every city has a story. It is repeated, embellished, reshaped and told again and again.
Guests on the next "Smart City" radio show tell stories about cities. Hillary McLellan is a professional storyteller working in the context of electronic media. Larry Albert is a Houston designer who crafted a unique way to tell his citys story through his Web site HoustonWet.net. Dee Dee Poteete is a native Texan and shes been telling San Antonios story for more than eight years as the Public Relations Director for the San Antonio Convention and Visitors Bureau. Smart City runs Sunday at 9 a.m. on the WKNO FM Stations, NPR for the Mid-South, on 91.1 FM and again Tuesday at 9 a.m. on 88.9 FM. Or you can hear the show on WKNO's live Web streaming.
