Calling All Writers!

Spread the word - KAXE and KBXE, Northern Community Radio is launching a new show for Minnesota writers!

I’m Robert Jevne and my favorite moments as a listener of KAXE/KBXE have always been hearing writers and poets in their own words. Wordish is a new writer-centered audio segment and we want to hear from you – your voice, your words. We have expanded the format to include short fiction and creative essay as well as poetry so you have more opportunity to express yourself.

Rules and how to submit are located here.

What the world needs now is better words.

Warning: Wordish may cause happiness, a renewed sense of awareness, insight, creativity and internal accord. If you experience unrelieved calm for more than five hours, don’t see a doctor – just keep listening

Sarah Bignall has led KAXE through a period of bold growth and recognition since becoming CEO/General Manager in 2022, including being named Ampers 2025 Station of the Year. Under her leadership, the station’s award-winning newsroom has expanded local coverage across Northern Minnesota and elevated KAXE’s digital reach to record levels. She’s also been sought out by outlets like KARE11, the Star Tribune, MinnPost, and Politico to speak on the far-reaching effects of CPB funding cuts on rural public media.
