Clarence Ewing: The Million Year Trip writes“M in Ohio” Tells Us Why They listen to CHIRP Radio

"Jennifer, Oh Jenny. Ohhhhhhhh..." --De La Soul

I love music. Flat out - absolutely LOVE music! And not just one type of music, but all types of music. All types, that is, but one. All but top 40. I have scoured the internet radio dial for a station that appeals to my broad music sense. Literally for years. Years and years and years and years. I have found several that I like for their genre, but none that offered a broad eclectic mix. Until I stumbled on CHIRP.

I don't know what it was that caught my eye. I think it was the name. CHIRP. How cool is that? I gave it a try and I was hooked from the first set. Absolutely incredible. It plays all the genres I like to hear and more. Much much more. I have been listening to it religiously ever since. So much so, that I have it streaming into my office so that everyone else can enjoy.

Mind you, most of the people in the office are top 40 listeners. They don't know 98 percent of what is played on your station. I get a kick when I hear - "Hey, I know that song!" or "I haven't heard that for years" or "Wow! I have never heard that song played on the radio." I get an even bigger kick when someone hears a song they like and they walk over to see what song is playing and jots it down. Priceless.

I am not a musical genius. I wish I were. I love all types of music, but I know so little about it. CHIRP allows me to vastly expand my musical horizons. The DJ's are awesome. Extremely knowledgeable and not pretentious. I have learned so much. It has been a real education.

What I Like About CHIRP Radio:

1. It is bar none the best radio concept I have ever heard
2. It plays all types of music. I mean "ALL.”
3. I never know what will be played next. It is one amazing song after another.
4. It is live DJ's. Not some canned program or algorithm.
5. The DJs are extremely knowledgeable and dog-gone friendly.
6. All my requests have been played - no matter how quirky.
7. The songs played are clean.
8. It gives exposure to some truly incredible local bands.
9. The playlists are easy to track and follow.
10. It is easy to purchase a song that is played.
