Let Them Talk

History of Let Them Talk
Let Them talk originated as a radio program heard live on WBAI 99.5 FM in New York City during 1992. The program was heard weekly on Wednesday nights and was named after the song Let Them Talk by Little Willie John. Paul DeRienzo was a reporter in the WBAI news department at the time and the show reflected local, national and international news stories often originating from the Pacifica Network News. Let Them talk hosted a wide variety of guests including cultural figures and artists, musicians and political spokespeople. The show has always been a cultural counterpoint to Paul's news reporting, focusing on homeless people, police brutality, marijuana and the war on drugs. With Joan Moossy the program added a needed dimension of avant guard art and music.

Let Them Talk on TV
After leaving WBAI in 2002 Paul DeRienzo and his cohost Miss Joan Marie Moossy planned to relaunch Let Them Talk as a cable TV public access show in Manhattan. In March 2006 Let Them Talk debuted on Manhattan Neighborhood Network Channel 56 airing live every Tuesday at 8 PM. You can watch archived broadcasts at the Let Them Talkweb page
