WILMINGTON — On Thursday, September 25, the first episode of “Ask Governor Meyer” will air live on WHYY and Delaware Public Media (DPM), and stream on WHYY’s YouTube page, giving Delawareans a new way to hear directly from their governor and ask questions in real time.

The monthly radio program is a collaboration between Governor Meyer’s office, WHYY, and DPM. Each episode will feature updates on the Governor’s priorities, discussions about current issues facing Delaware, and live call-ins from residents across the state.

The show will air once a month from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m., with opportunities for Delawareans to participate through phone calls, social media, and live chat on YouTube.

“We’re committed to connecting with everyday Delawareans wherever they are,” said Governor Matt Meyer. “This radio show is part of a new era of accountability and transparency within Delaware politics, and we’re excited to share our priorities and accomplishments and hear directly from the people of our state.”

WHYY and DPM, Delaware’s trusted public media outlets, will co-produce the program and provide listeners with thoughtful, balanced coverage of the conversations that shape the state.

“At WHYY, our mission is to inform and engage the communities we serve,” said Mark Eichmann, News Director at WHYY’s Delaware Desk. “We believe in creating spaces where government and community meet, and this show is a powerful way to make that connection happen.”

“Delaware Public Media is proud to co-host this program and bring open, honest dialogue to our listeners,” said Tom Byrne, News Director at Delaware Public Media. “This partnership gives Delawareans a unique opportunity to have their voices heard and to get direct answers from their governor on the issues that matter most.”

Shirley Min will host the program at WHYY. Each month, she will be joined by two Delaware journalists. Min is a journalist with 25 years of experience in commercial and public television and radio. Min resides in Delaware. She is also the host of a WHYY lifestyle program on WHYY-TV called “You Oughta Know.”
