Greg Saulmon: Local radio matters more than ever
05-19-2025 10:46 AM

This morning I turned on the radio and a familiar thing happened: I heard the voice of someone I know singing a song they wrote, and feelings of comfort and wonder washed over me. In this case the voice belonged to my friend and bandmate Brandi Ediss, singing a song from her excellent solo record “Bees and Bees and Bees.” It’s an experience that has played out over and over as I’ve cooked meals and run errands and driven to work and explored the back roads and odd corners of this place we call home. While the voices have been many, the source is always the same: radio station WRSI FM, The River.
