WDBX in the News!

WDBX, the community radio station that hosts Faithfully Subversive along with several other unique shows, made the front page of the Southern Illinoisan today!

"The station in the little brick building at the corner of Washington and Oak streets, just off the town square, stands up and shouts diversity.

That shout emanates from a gaggle of some 115 volunteer DJs who are willing to share their time, their music and their messages, offering listeners a rich potpourri of programming nearly round the clock. They are young and old, black and white, cowboys and yes, Indians (both Native Americans and those from India), highbrows and lowbrows."
