KMOJ's Community Viewpoint

We’ve never been more connected, and somehow, we’ve become more disconnected.

As a culture, as families, and as a society, how much of real life are we missing because we’re consumed by our phones? We’re scrolling through other people’s lives while overlooking our own. Social media influences how we think, what we desire, how we communicate, how we parent, how we love, and sometimes even how we value ourselves.

In this episode of The 4 Opinions, we’re challenging ourselves to disconnect so we can reconnect. What happens when we put the phone down long enough to hear our children, enjoy our families, nurture our relationships, sit with our own thoughts, pursue our goals, and actually experience the moment we’re in?

Technology is a tool, but when the tool begins controlling the person holding it, something has to change.

Maybe the next level of our lives isn’t something we need to scroll toward. Maybe it’s already in front of us, waiting for us to look up.

What is KMOJ's Community Viewpoint?

“KMOJ’s Community Viewpoint” is a podcast series created by KMOJ-89.9 FM Radio “The People’s Station”. These conversations explore issues and perspectives critical to the health and well-being of all members of the communities of color we serve.
Since first going “on the air” in 1976, KMOJ-89.9-FM continues its legacy as the community-oriented station located in Minneapolis, Minnesota airing a predominantly urban adult contemporary format.
“KMOJ’s Community Viewpoint” is one way the station achieves its mission of engaging, supporting and empowering Communities of Color to elevate the way of life of the people of its community and to challenge social and economic disparities, and the persistent consequences of historic racism.
The station call letters, “KMOJ” were inspired by the Swahili word “UMOJA” which means “Unity.” http://kmojfm.com/
