Welcome to our new volunteer feature: CHIRP Champions! We'll be using this space to highlight special folks within the CHIRP sphere who have been recognized by their peers for making extraordinary contributions to the organization. Next up is Volunteer Coordinator Caroline Pendleton!
I moved to Chicago from Austin, TX in July 2022 (happy 2nd Chicagoversary to me!) and started volunteering with CHIRP in November of that year. I've been involved with radio in some capacity since DJing in college (KNTU at the University of North Texas)––CHIRP seemed like a surefire way to get dialed into the local music scene and meet new folks!
Welcome to our new volunteer feature: CHIRP Champions! We'll be using this space to highlight special folks within the CHIRP sphere who have been recognized by their peers for making extraordinary contributions to the organization. First up is Volunteer Coordinator Alli Hagg!
I started just about a year ago, so I'm still a newbie compared to a lot of folks! CHIRP was the first station I found when I drove into the city to look for an apartment (with the range of the signal what it is, that really feels like fate). I was hooked from then, and when I was six months in to living in the city and still feeling disconnected, I turned to volunteering at the station to help me find a sense of community and place. It's delivered!

The beach is always a refreshing way to cool off in the summer, as many of us make our way to the various spots along the coast (East, West, the Great Lakes, etc.) whenever we need an escape from the heat. Here are five songs to accompany your next beach read or swim.
A homage to the largest urban beach in the United States, this place must be worth the trek for the Ramones. The original lineup (Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee, and Tommy Ramone) are from the Forest Hills neighborhood in Queens, which means it would take about 40 minutes to get to Rockaway Beach and Boardwalk, or nearly double that if you take the subway and bus.
Luckily they can hitch a ride to the beach once known as the “Irish Riviera” thanks to the large community from the Emerald Isle. A getaway for the idle rich in the 18th century, Rockaway Beach became popular with the masses once the railroad station and the amusement park Rockaways’ Playland opened in the early 1900s.
