The Life Rattle radio program, now in its eighteenth year on
CKLN-FM 88.1 community radio, has broadcast more than 850 programs featuring more than 1000 stories by more than 250 new writers.

The enterprise began small. 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 has changed.

Life Rattle now has loyal listeners and a corps of writers who return again and again. We have a backlog of people who want to read their stories. We make it our business to find stories by people whose lives we see little about in expressive media.

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?
