CHIRP is awesome. We play diverse, independent music 24/7/365, produce podcast interviews with talented artists, sponsor local community happenings, host a variety of original events (like our First Time live lit & music series, annual record fairs, DJ nights at local bars, etc.), and we do it all with a large team of passionate, dedicated volunteers! Pretty cool, huh?

Speaking of cool, every Thursday — for the past almost SEVEN YEARS —you've been able to hear me DJing live on-air, curating your afternoon soundtrack. Most folks reading this know me best for that weekly show, so if you've ever enjoyed listening I would sincerely appreciate your support during this 2023 Spring Fundraising Drive!

CHIRP is a truly wonderful community of listeners and supporters. The people (like YOU) are one of the biggest things that keeps me coming back into the station week after week, for hundreds of shows. That's because CHIRP is something unique and exciting; a one-of-a-kind organization giving back to the community in so many ways! No matter if you're here because you already support CHIRP, because you're a lover of good music, or because you know me and saw my ask for help, I sincerely urge you to chip in and continue to keep the station strong for years to come. No amount is too small, and every bit helps us to reach our fundraising goal — so please, donate today! THANK YOU!

CHIRP is radio as it's meant to be: live, local and independent.

We are true radio believers at CHIRP. We love the music that we share with you, and we are committed to our community -- playing local bands every single hour of the day, interviewing Chicago artists for our podcast series, showcasing local nonprofits doing important work, and generally making sure we are shining a light on our city's diverse, vibrant, creative scenes. And we're doing it all without any commercials!

Your generous support makes everything we do possible. We are a truly independent, listener-supported radio station, never beholden to corporate interests.

If you believe in this work, and if you're able, we please make a donation to CHIRP today.
