KNAU wants to hear your voice on our air!

We are currently looking for community members to record a 20 second testimonial about how you listen to KNAU, a driveway moment you’ve had or a personal anecdote about KNAU/NPR and you. This testimonial will then play during our Silent Pledge Drive beginning September 15th. Don’t worry if you don’t live in Flagstaff we can accommodate you! For questions or to schedule a recording email our Development Director, Cory.
