Volunteering for Radio Reader

Every weekday, local programming is available for broadcast. The newspapers, magazines and books that are shared with the listeners are read by volunteers who either record at home and e-mail the material or who come to the Illinois Radio Office at 300 N Goodwin in Urbana to record in person. A short orientation and commitment to a half hour or an hour weekly is all it takes. On-call readers are also appreciated. If you have time to record, please call Kathie Spegal at 217-333-6503 or contact Illinois Radio Reader by e-mail.
