We Question & Learn
1st Sunday of every month, 4pm - 5pm

The call letters of our station, WQLN, stand for "We Question and Learn".

The We Question & Learn interview program heard Sundays at 4 p.m., monthly, on WQLN Radio 91.3 FM is dedicated to being a community interest program devoting an entire hour to interviews with Erie's prominent leaders, business people, and educators, focusing in on business and technology.
