KMOJ's Community Viewpoint

What happened to communication? Somewhere along the way, we stopped really listening. Everybody’s talking, but nobody’s hearing each other. Conversations turn into arguments, understanding gets lost, and we find ourselves moving fast but not moving forward—busy, but not building.
In our homes, our relationships, and our communities, the disconnect is real. We react before we reflect. We respond without understanding. And in the process, we’re missing each other completely.
Maybe it’s time we pause. Take a breath. Reset. Because effective communication isn’t just about speaking—it’s about listening with intention, understanding with purpose, and responding with care. It’s the foundation of growth, healing, and real progress.
So how did we lose it? More importantly, how do we get it back? And where do we go from here to rebuild stronger, healthier ways of connecting with one another? Let’s talk about it.

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/
