EF RADIO ON AIR EXTRAORDINAIRE

EF Radio is a community-driven platform that shares the voices, stories, and sounds of Electric Forest. Broadcasting year-round and live from the Festival grounds, EF Radio connects the Forest Family through music, interviews, and creative programming that brings the spirit of The Forest wherever you are.

The EF Radio On Air ExtraordinAIRE Plug In Program offers aspiring radio personalities and show hosts the opportunity to collaborate with the EF Radio team and create content to be featured on EF Radio.

If you’re interested in radio, interviewing, or podcasting – this is the program for you!

Who should apply?
Potential applicants could be:

• On-air radio personalities
• Podcasters
• Hosts or producers with interesting radio show concepts (either pre-recorded or done on-site)
• Outgoing interviewers of the Forest Family
• Musical collagists/artists who can create collections of anecdotes or stories from Forest Family
• Forest Family interested in diving into the world of radio (no previous radio experience required)

The weirder the better! HQ loves to see ideas from people who are thinking “outside the box!” A background in radio, hosting, or streaming is not required, but some experience in college/community/commercial radio can be especially helpful.
