Hi friends!

In our crazy crazy world, we've got to cling to the works and cultures that make living fresh and vibrant. To me, radio away from the corporate meta is a large part of that. So, if you support live, local, commercial-free, and independent music please consider donating to CHIRP! Also consider listening anytime at 107.1 FM or chirpradio.org, especially on Wednesday evenings from 10pm-12am CST so I can have the honor of joining you on the astral plane to commuuuuuuuune with the tuuuuuuuuuuunes.

Cheers,

Mick Rick

Help us celebrate fifteen years of CHIRP!

It's hard to believe that it's been a decade and a half since we launched the station! Some things have changed a lot, but what's stayed the same is our commitment to bringing you live, local, commercial-free music programming lovingly curated by our DJs every single day, plus dozens of events that showcase our city's diverse music, arts and cultural scenes.

In 2025 we're celebrating our history while looking to the future, including rebuilding our website and mobile app into a sleek integrated web app that we know you'll love.

We are a truly independent, listener-supported station. Your generosity has helped us thrive over the past fifteen years, and will keep us going for decades to come.

If you believe CHIRP contributes meaningfully to the musical and cultural life of Chicago and want to make sure the station stays strong, please make a donation to show your support today. 

IMPORTANT: If you would like to become a sustaining member by making a recurring donation (monthly or quarterly), or if you want to select a thank you gift, please visit chirpradio.org/donatenow to make your contribution (and to give in support of the person making this post, be sure to type their full name in the "volunteer to credit" section so they can receive credit for your gift).
