Clarence Ewing: The Million Year Trip writesWhy I’m a Member: Cinnamon Cooper

I was lucky to meet Shawn Campbell years and years ago for an interview I did with her for GapersBlock.com. At that time she told me how there was no room on the Chicago radio dial for any new radio stations, which I found appalling. How can a city of this glorious size not have room for more diversity among its radio stations. So I was thrilled years later to get an email from Shawn explaining her vision for what CHIRP Radio was going to be.

Since then I have spent innumerable hours (probably far more than my donations have been able to cover) learning about music that is new to me, hearing the voices of people who are excited by music sharing their interests and their knowledge with their audience. Listening to CHIRP feels like listening to a friend recommend things that they think I will like and explain why they think I’ll like them. I love CHIRP for sharing great new experiences with me and making my world full of better sounds and better people. -- Cinnamon Cooper (Member)
