The Life Rattle Radio Program broadcast almost 1400 shows featuring more than 2100 stories
by more than 500 new writers.
The enterprise began small, on CKLN-FM 88.1 community radio. In the first three shows
we played our own stories. In those early days we searched for writers
every week, sometimes having to read from books we had on-hand when we
couldn’t find anyone with a story ready. That changed. We often had a backlog of people who wanted
to read their stories.
In 2011, Life Rattle began to "broadcast" our radio program through podcasts.
We had little idea of the success we would meet when
we began. Who could have imagined this obscure radio program would collect
the astounding quantity and quality of material that it has?
