Out of Bounds, created by Tish Pearlman, features interviews with
visionaries: people living, working and thinking outside the mainstream. It is broadcast every Thursday at 7pm on
WEOS at 89.7 & 90.3 in Geneva, NY & 88.1 in Ithaca, NY or via live stream at weos.org. The mission of Out of Bounds is to move beyond the "disrespectful ranting" of current
popular radio, and to forge understanding among people of diverse backgrounds through thoughtful, in-depth conversations
that educate and enlighten. This forum features well-known as well as under-represented members of the Finger Lakes
community and beyond. The goal of the show is to bring community members into clearer focus, to erase the lines that
divide us, to create common ground, and to move forward with a deeper understanding of the issues and concerns that tie
us together. Since our debut in April 2005, the show has featured conversations with writers, teachers, composers,
artists, activists, musicians, and members of the various religious and cultural communities. These guests discuss their
non-traditional work and undertakings, which are generally "outside the mainstream". The subject matter also serves to
redefine the "mainstream" and encourages critical thinking regarding the definitions of today's culture.
