Announcing the Voicecorps Reading Network - VRN. Last year, just as the pandemic sent us all scrambling for masks, disinfectant, and a little more space between us and our neighbors, Voicecorps was launching a new system of transmissions designed to fill-in the huge gaps where Ohio had no reading service.  With the help of public broadcasters WOSU, WOUB, WOUC, WBGU and the Portsmouth FM station WNXT we can now reach more than 82,000 people with our daily 24-hour reading service.

There's much work that had to go "on hold" while we followed safety guidelines for dealing with COVID-19. We're sensing a light at the end of that tunnel now, and are looking forward to resuming outreach efforts in these new listening areas.  If you, or someone you know lives in these new areas, please ask them to call us to learn how to tune in for free reading services.  The number is 614-274-7650.

The print being read aloud is Columbus-centric for the time being, but we are making plans that will enable us to launch more localized readings of newspapers, grocery and other shopping ads, as well as the community news that keeps people connected to the neighborhoods, towns, and villages where they live.

Our wonderful volunteers are still reading from home... that's just safe and smart.  Voicecorps is looking forward to an eventual resumption of in-studio readings and recordings. We look forward to being able to meet with our referring partners in person to find more people who need your help. And, we look forward to being able to complete the building of the Voicecorps Reading Network in Toledo, Lima, Athens and Cambridge.

There are literally thousands of Ohioans who still need your support… who need Voicecorps reading service. With a team like you, we know that help is sure to arrive. Thank you.
