Audio: Listen To The 2019 Poetry Minutes

Jenni Todd/WKMS

  April is National Poetry Month and this year WKMS collected poems from its audience to create daily poetry minutes that air weekdays. 

WKMS has received more than 40 submissions from people who live across the four rivers region. If you've missed any of the poetry minutes thus far you can listen below. 

Chad Lampe, a Poplar Bluff, Missouri native, was raised on radio. He credits his father, a broadcast engineer, for his technical knowledge, and his mother for the gift of gab. At ten years old he broke all bonds of the FCC and built his own one watt pirate radio station. His childhood afternoons were spent playing music and interviewing classmates for all his friends to hear. At fourteen he began working for the local radio stations, until he graduated high school. He earned an undergraduate degree in Psychology at Murray State, and a Masters Degree in Mass Communication. In November, 2011, Chad was named Station Manager in 2016.
