Recorded Recreational Reading for the Blind celebrates golden age of radio for fundraiser

Recorded Recreational Reading for the Blind recently celebrated a fundraiser.
RRRB volunteers John Schumacher, Tod Pickett and Richard Kerr gave the community a behind-the-scenes look at its digital radio station KRUV Radiosun on April 16 at a mini-fundraiser for the nonprofit.
The theme was what goes into its weekly “Golden Age of Radio" program.
Kerr provided a tour of the studio at 9447 N. 99th Ave., and Schumacher demonstrated the technical aspects of programming. While Pickett “stood and delivered” the history of episodes of Fibber McGee and Molly, Gunsmoke, Richard Diamond and more, Schumacher played segments of each episode for the audience.
By popular demand, plans are in the works to offer the public another look at how “Golden Age of Radio” is produced.

Recorded Recreational Reading for the Blind is a nonprofit that connects those with vision impairments to their community. The organization is 50 years old and today has only two paid staff and many volunteers who record news, magazine articles, books, and music weekly at no cost for blind, low-vision, and physically disabled who are not able to hold a book or magazine.
