World Cafe is a place where public radio listeners get their first “before they were famous” look at emerging musicians and connect deeply with legendary performers.

It's a program that features new and significant music and the artists who create it. World Cafe spans an array of genres including singer-songwriter, classic rock, indie rock, Americana, alt-country, blues, world music, R&B, and soul.

Host Raina Douris is an award-winning radio personality and has interviewed artists like Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand, Questlove and Brandi Carlile, and many more.

Raina and contributing World Cafe host Kallao present a carefully curated music mix along with the central element of each daily show: an intimate conversation with an artist focusing on their craft, songwriting, and inspirations, combined with an exclusive musical performance.
