Thank you to the wonderful PBS volunteers who’ve been helping out and keeping this place running!
Radio Festival was and is an amazing community effort, continuing through to June 30, with the aim—and hope—of reaching our ideal (yet elusive) target of 10,000 members.

Radio Festival is such a fun time for us because it gives us the opportunity to open our doors to both new and returning volunteers. They’re supporting our announcers, members, and staff—everyone is pitching in and helping each other out. Communities like this flourish thanks to the generous contributions from all involved, including listeners, members, donors, volunteers, prize sponsors, and everyone else who gave (and continue to give) to PBS. 
 
As always, we thank and acknowledge our terrific team of PBS announcers, fill-in talent, front desk, committee and music library volunteers. It is the team of PBS volunteers who power it 24/7.
