HOW DOES RADIO IMPACT YOUR LIFE?

"Radio has always been one of my great loves, and a lifeline to the world. 
When I flip the dial and hear those stories flowing into my consciousness, it’s like opening a mystery gift–something special and unexpected. 
Getting to be a host at KSQD for the past years has connected me to the community in ways I could never have imagined. Talk about a gift. 
Radio is the great connector. Turn it on and let it turn you on!!"
Christine Barrington, host of Apocalyptic Supperclub @ KSQD.org.

HOW DOES RADIO IMPACT YOUR LIFE?

“Community radio changed my life! I not only learned new skills and found a new passion—I’ve also become part of an important community. When I hear familiar voices on KSQD, I say hello to them by name. I realize they can’t hear me, but I feel so connected with them, it would feel rude not to give them a little shout out.” - Suki Wessling, host and producer of The Babblery

HOW DOES RADIO IMPACT YOUR LIFE?

"Radio is community. I love the way KSQD has woven a tapestry of caring people who love music and sharing ideas. Community radio, in particular, is a gathering place where we can define and care for the physical place we live, while hearing real human voices in a very personal way. Maybe AI will challenge us to be even more human than we already are! I, for one, am very happy to be supporting the radio revival! All hail radio lovers worldwide on World Radio Day. May the frequencies live on!" - Rachel Anne Goodman, Board Chair of KSQD/Natural Bridges Media

HOW DOES RADIO IMPACT YOUR LIFE?

"I have a brother in Roseburg, Oregon, who has stage 4 blood cancer. He goes to chemo every Monday, which leaves him bedridden with brain fog and sleepless due to steroids. All he can do is listen to audio. He has discovered KSQD streaming Live and in the Archives. He knows every music programmer by name and loves it when he hears them shout out to Roseburg on the streaming list. My brother's appreciation of hearing K-Squid voices talk to him just by acknowledging Roseburg among the streamers online when they are on-air is a blessing beyond any measure. It is the Live DJs in the moment that make the difference. Please say Hi to Roseburg when you are on-air. AI/automated radio does not fill that human connection." - David Bean
