“... Public radio is a treasure.” Ed Phillips, Murphysboro, IL
W
SIU is important to me. One of the reasons my wife, Susie, and I moved to Southern Illinois is because the region had a public radio station. We’ve got four radios in our home, and all of them are set to WSIU Radio. My day starts with Morning Edition. And my afternoon drive home wouldn’t be complete without All Things Considered! Public radio is a treasure. It is a vital community resource that we must earn the right to continue to enjoy. It will exist only with our support. I’m Ed Phillips from Murphysboro, and WSIU is Powered by Me.
