Open house with the freaks and geeks of KYRS on Saturday

Since 2003, Thin Air Community Radio - Spokane’s non-profit, non-commercial community station - has served the Spokane area with diverse arts, culture, news and music, filling needs that other media do not, providing programming to diverse communities and un-served or underserved groups.

The signal now reaches to more than 300,000 people, in parts of five counties and nearly to the Canadian border. They have 60 locally produced programs, all hosted by volunteers, including the only locally produced environmental programs like Down To Earth radio and Earth Matters Now ! Not to mention the youth programs, an arts program, Native American, Spanish language, African-American, Asian, Russian language, open poetry, and a seniors program.

Don’t even get me started about the music - although word is still out on letting us play bongos.

They will have an open house and it’s a great chance to meet the folks behind the mic. The event will include appetizers; social mingle with staff, listeners, programmers, and reporters; a behind the scenes tour of the station; and the opportunity to record short audio clips to be played on the air.

Here are the details:
