3FALL 2021 UPDATE
Dear Audio-Reader Subscriber,
October 11th marks a special anniversary for us: 50
years of serving blind, visually-impaired and print-
disabled individuals across Kansas and Missouri!
When our founder Petey Cerf started a partnership with
the University of Kansas to purchase a full-power FM
transmitter so KANU could broadcast Audio-Reader on
its subcarrier, little did she know that 50 years later the
same service would be reaching listeners via the same
radio technology, as well as new-fangled means like
podcasts, smart speakers and the internet.
We are excited to mark this milestone with a celebration
in Abe & Jake’s Landing in Lawrence on November 5th
(keep reading for more info) as well as a special
celebration on October 11th at our location in Lawrence,
and over the airwaves from 11am – 12 noon.
We count ourselves lucky to have many dedicated
volunteers still working from home, with more people
returning to our studios, to bring you the programming
you depend on. Here’s to another 50 years!
Stay safe,
Audio-Reader Staff & Volunteers
