Beyond The Voice
During our 50th year we're going Beyond The Voice to spotlight our volunteers and share their handpicked music playlists.
Volunteers provide almost seventy hours of programming a week on KAXE! Our community members are passionate about music and love sharing it with us. Dave Murphy will be at the booth on Friday, you can talk with him about what it is like to volunteer as a KAXE Board Member and on-air host.
You may hear one of the playlists from these hosts at the booth, or you can enjoy their picks anytime, anywhere! Get to know them and enjoy a listen:
