Chautauqua Radio Seeks Contributors, Editors, Producers

April 20, 2007 by onair

Dear Radio Friends,

Chautauqua (sha-Tah-kwa) Radio, a monthly hour-long podcast and radio broadcast is seeking talented and passionate individuals to fill the roles of producer, assistant producer, and contributing editors.

Each month on Chautauqua, we choose a theme, which, as open the individual to interpret, we cover through a combination of reporting, true stories, interviews and readings, both local and national, producing in the end, an hour of engaging radio which seeks to inspire, to educate, to entertain, and to spark local discussion by being a voice for the under-heard and a medium for storytelling.

Next month, dinosaurs, the lizard kind, the person kind, the computer kind, it’s up to you. If you have a story idea or a skill you’d like to learn or contribute, we want to hear from you. Please email us.
