On November 7,1995 – 30 years ago today– Esty Dinur hosted A Public Affair for the first time. Over her 30-year career, her show has been known for its critical perspective, focus on resistance, and fresh voices. That’s what host Carlos Dávalos celebrates today by swapping seats with Esty Dinur and asking her about her tenure on WORT.

Esty says that her listeners remain very important to her and that the topics that she was covering 30 years ago are still the topics she covers today. Her mission has always been to bring information that is not widely available to the air waves and give voice to the voiceless. 

She reflects on her shows over the years, including her second program with Welfare Warriors, covering international issues in Nigeria, Peru, and elsewhere, and with guests like Noam Chomsky.

And we hear from callers who share their stories about Esty over the years. WORT collected some of Esty’s shows over the years for her 25th anniversary, and you can listen to them here.
