Public Radio WBHM 90.3 FM launched Magic City Sounds today, a new program that will reflect Birmingham through voices and sounds. The program will air on the station in segments in the form of personal reflections and fragments of daily life in the city. The program's goal is to "create a living audio archive of Alabama," the radio station said in a press release today.
"This project is very exciting because I believe everyone has a unique story, and sharing those stories allows us to build connections and learn about more about our neighbors," said WBHM Assistant Producer Amy Sedlis in the release. "Magic City Sounds allows us the opportunity to share real voices from real people right here in North Central Alabama."
"I can't think of another project so focused on what the city sounds like," said Michael Krall, WBHM's Program Director.
Public Radio WBHM is the listener-supported service of the University of Alabama at Birmingham. The station's programming can be heard in North Central Alabama on WSGN 91.5 FM, a station supported by Gadsden State Community College, and found online here.
WBHM invites the community to get involved with Magic City Sounds by recording a story or particular sound and submitting it at MagicCitySounds.org.
