Your Call
US radio program
Your Call is a call-in radio talk show program produced by KALW hosted by Rose Aguilar in San Francisco, California. Your Call features in-depth dialogue and debate on politics, culture, poverty, and the environment. The format of Your Call varies from show to show, but generally involves an in-person interview with one or more subjects, including nationally prominent authors, scholars and grassroots activists. The program airs from 10-11am Pacific Time on weekday mornings.
The show launched the week of September 11, 2001 with Laura Flanders hosting from New York. When Laura started with Air America in 2004, Farai Chideya split hosting duties, before taking over full-time. After Farai left for News & Notes on NPR, Rebecca Roberts, daughter of NPR correspondent Cokie Roberts, hosted along with former CBC host Mary Ambrose. Rose Aguilar and Sandip Roy took over hosting duties after Rebecca was hired by WETA in Washington, D.C. Sandip is no longer with the program, and Rose continues as the main host, with others such as Holly Kiernan coming in on Wednesdays and other days.

Why this record matters
“Your Call” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Your, Call and radio provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 15, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q8058751. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2001 and 2004.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
