This is a podcast project by people of all abilities.
Hear I Am is a free ongoing audio course for people living with disabilities. Participants enrolled in this course learn interviewing, audio and storytelling skills from radio professionals. The goal is to tell their own stories, not have stories told about them, to take back narrative control to learn and create their own radio pieces. These radio pieces are turned into a podcast, and amplified by broadcast, on 94.1 FM WFNU-LP Frogtown Community Radio.
This is a Sounds Powerful production, www.soundspowerful.com
Gordon Fager has had a lifelong love of airplanes. From the time he was a little boy growing up on an air force base with his parents and 4 siblings to an adult visiting air shows and plane simulation rides. His father, a Master Sergeant with the Air Force, gifted Gordon the appreciation of flight and also passed along his fondness for country music.
Take a trip and come fly with Gordon, along the way you'll learn about engines, jets and how with the loving influence of family, the sky's the limit!

STRIKING UP A FRIENDSHIP
Striking Up A Friendship, starring Christian, is the story of how the love of a game turned into a decade long mentorship and winning friendship.
When avid bowler, Christian, first met pro shop owner Mike Schmid 13 years ago, he didn't know Mike would become a fundamental part of his life. Christian's multiple bowling leagues and various equipment purchases would take him to Mike's Pro Shop in Flaherty's Arden Bowl (https://www.facebook.com/flahertysardenbowl/?__cft__[0]=AZWyPycwTs9VN3KqlMemF4iH--YIJYX2zqfWh_CKv_dvdi_S_skiFxoJWgwSefAIELb2EkhbiyGEmq-4KDv8DTTeJ7joze9m1CLXrCUZepEoBkVjANEWG0tdabzZZe0nNCPvhsQ89ipmZBwsKNWG7fr7yNE8H84cM2Me5LDBi7YWB4BUDtnJwhtRmHNlzFfErr8&__tn__=kK-R), numerous times a week. It was there at the pro shop, that Mike and Christian bonded over bowling balls, best practices, and the latest in ball drilling techniques while earning each other’s trust and respect.
Thank you to Mike Schmid, a professional bowler, great guy and Mike’s Pro Shop (https://www.mikesproshop.com/) owner for 59 years!
