VANCOUVER — Re-Imagined Radio has adopted a new tagline and launched a YouTube channel, expanding the availability of new and archived episodes.

On the third Monday of each month at 1 p.m., Re-Imagined Radio premiers a new program over KXRW-FM (99.9), Vancocuver, and KXRY-FM (91.1 and 107.1), Portland. A third community radio station, KMWV-FM (98.3), Salem, airs episodes on Wednesdays (6 p.m.) and Sundays (6:30 p.m.).

Episodes are streamed globally and are subsequently available as podcasts from several distribution platforms as well as the new YouTube channel. Episodes are archived on reimaginedradio.fm.

“This all means that each episode is now available at times and in forms convenient and attractive for any listener,” said John Barber, producer and host of Re-Imagined Radio and faculty member in the Creative Media and Digital Culture program at Washington State University Vancouver.

To reflect Re-Imagined Radio’s broader scope, the new tagline is “a program about sound-based storytelling,” with “sound-based” replacing “radio” in the tagline. “I believe this opens up more opportunities than just radio,” Barber said.

Re-Imagined Radio now offers its sound-based stories in different categories: Guest Writer, Documentary, Tribute, Celebration, Old Time Radio and Experimental.

Re-Imagined Radio began in 2013 with live theatrical performances drawing on the golden age of radio storytelling. The organization still presents live performances on occasion.
