No phoners, family-friendly, free. Air dates/sequence here recommended when airing the whole month-long series. No need for any intro/outro. (All of March, April, and May readings are also available free on CDs, please ask.) Contemporary; brief; authentic voices changing daily! Give your listeners a great read and perhaps seal their loyalty to be station members. How about airing TAC during ATC?
