Voices in the Valley
So that all may be heard
Intergenerational in its reach, Voices in the Valley connects youth to an older audience
Every week local area students join hosts Steph and De on the radio to celebrate the
creative spirit, nurture the art of storytelling, and provide a forum for a diversity of
voices to be heard. Our goal is to interconnect folks in the St. Croix River Valley to each
other and to a national and international community in order to share the many narratives that can be discovered among our friends, neighbors, and merchants. During the show, guests young and old, local and national, share tips, offer inspiration and
read selections from their work.
Voices in the Valley airs every Saturday morning at 10:00 on KLBB 1220 AM and includes Nature’s Notebook with Rebecca Kolls, Local Student News, St. Croix Valley Art News, the Barn Raising Moment, and public readings and interviews of guests, artists and writers. Voices in the Valley serves a unique demographic in that KLBB plays to the older generation, while our website analytics show that 89 percent of our audience includes people within the ages of 18 and 64. Between KLBB's demographic and ours, we are truly intergenerational.
The strength of a community is determined by the richness of its stories
The programming for Voices in the Valley seeks to promote an environment where people of different world views, backgrounds and experiences can share their stories and experiences in a supportive environment while also providing valuable resources to each other. Diverse guests such as Senator Housley and Representative Lohmer, African-American student activist Amir, and Katlyn an author with Down Syndrome illustrate the complexity and beauty of this montage of narrative thought. In addition, to support artistic endeavors, LA screenwriter Dina Chapman shares how to write a tv show, New York Times Best Selling author Jacqueline West provides tips on how to develop a writing routine, and Prairie Home Companion veteran Alan Frechtman discusses what it's like to be a part of a creative team.
