Rich Hooper of listener-supported Christian radio station 88.3 The Journey joins Brad Allard to discuss the mission and operation of a community-focused broadcaster. Hooper reflects on the station's successful “30K in a Day” fundraising takeover and explains how listener support sustains its work.

He describes the station's narrowcasting approach: consistent, encouraging, theologically grounded music that stays focused on its audience rather than political controversy. The conversation also explores the role of Christian music in listeners' lives and the genre's changing reach, including the rise of artists such as Forrest Frank. The episode closes with a reminder to support local nonprofits and summer food-pantry needs.
