SLB Radio Productions, Inc.

For the past ten years SLB Radio has helped promote fundraising efforts for the homeless shelter at which I work. St. Joseph House of Hospitality has a yearly bluegrass benefit concert and SLB radio has had musicians from that concert perform on the Saturday morning prior to that concert. Not only does this help promote the concert, but it also keeps the issue of homelessness and efforts to alleviate homelessness in the public's awareness. Also, as a musician who has performed on SLB, the opportunity to perform on live radio is an experience that is truly unique and gratifying. SLB Radio is a real asset to our community in its promotion of social awareness and promotion of the performing arts.

SLB Radio makes a difference in the lives of children, families and within their community. Mr. Larry Berger is easy to work with in arranging programs that educate and entertain. The children I brought to the station enjoyed their visit, enjoyed being on-air and appreciated to the opportunity to have some hands on training on the equipment. I am grateful that I have had the chance to work with SLB Radio. That they have freely given thirty years or so of their life to help children learn and to bring people and families together is a blessing for this community. Larry's warmth and skill at interacting with children is a gift that I hope he will able to share for years to come.

SLB Radio has always been a great supporter of the efforts of the music community to get information out about what is going on around us. They continue to invite local artists to perform live in the studio and have always been easy to work with and very professional. We appreciate all that they have for us in the bluegrass community and for their listeners. They are truly an asset to not the bluegrass community but the entire listening community as well.

SLB is open and giving. They listen and hear as well as broadcast content - it's truly a two-way street. People of all ages love the programming. I've been interviewed a couple of times for very different reasons, and it's always been a fun and gentle experience designed to make the community a better place. The host (Larry Berger) can be a little amateurish sometimes, but it's part of the charm. He is very earnest and innovative in a "folk radio" way, and I wouldn't change a thing about him. SLB is a treasure.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the gentleness with which the show proceeds. There is so much "noise" in the world, it is a pleasure to find a show appealing to an inter-generational audience that is fun and respectful at the same time.

Saturday Light Brigade is, first and foremost, run but some of the most caring and intelligent individuals I have had the pleasure to meet in Pittsburgh. They are sweet and smart, and are really talented when it comes to interviewing----anyone from professional adults with professional demanors to 2 year olds too shy to speak (at first). Hearing the show is always a delight, with a focus on the community unlike any other public radio station in the region. I may get news from NPR stations and the like, but I can tell how my community is really functioning when i hear the youth orchestra, a short theatrical preview, short interviews with students about their aspirations, or a talented local band performing in the studio, which happens to be located in the fabulous Children's Museum. Combine the weekly show with the amount of work they put into teaching elementary school students the art of radio and sound recording, and give those students the experience to express themselves on air, and there is no reason not to adore the people behind it all. Much love, SLB.

nothing short of amazing--kind, talented, smart, and calm. Anytime someone new joins the team I am extremely happy for them and maybe a teeny bit jealous.

SLB has been wonderful whenever I have needed them. Last year, at very short notice, they interviewed me on air for an event we were promoting through our non-profit organization. Also, they have contacted me periodically when they want referrals of artists to have on their show. Their programs are of the highest quality and we are so fortunate to have SLB in Pittsburgh!

the saturday light brigade radio productions are located in the sweetest space i've ever seen. within the children's museum, surrounded by colors, lights, and laughter, there is an awesome opportunity for kids to explore the various aspects of media through different avenues of hands on learning.
