How does a community radio station produce content that engages its listeners? CHIRP Radio is Chicago’s all-volunteer radio station dedicated to local arts, culture and music. At CHIRP’s Production Lab, you’ll learn how to create spots and features about life in Chicago while getting the chance to produce something yourself.

Hosted by: Dan Epstein, Features Producer

Parking: Street parking on North Rockwell. Public Transportation: Bus 80 Irving Park, Bus 49 Western are the closest. Access: We'll probably station someone at the door to our building so people don't have to call the Lab facilitators or the DJ on-air. That person will direct attendees to our studio on the 3rd floor of the building and we'll do check-in in our studio front area. Security Information or Pre-Lab Attendee Screening: No, but regarding handicap access, we are in an industrial building with a freight elevator. It's best if we provide an escort for anyone who may need it. And our bathrooms aren't easily accessible. Photo and Video Restrictions: Photos Okay Dress Code: None Age Restriction: 18 or older Handicap Accessible: Yes
