The WHRO Voice

When Barry and Lois Einhorn retired from Barry's dental practice 29 years ago, they were looking for something (else) to fill their hard-earned free time. When they started recording The WHRO Voice they were hooked immediately.

Among its many broadcast services, WHRO Public Media has been providing radio reading programs for the blind and visually impaired for more than 40 years.

Staff and volunteers of The WHRO Voice have been hard at work expanding their offerings for the blind and vision impaired members of our community.

The WHRO Voice is adding a new program for the Spanish-speaking community. Noticias en Espanol can be heard on Fridays at 3:30 p.m. beginning November 6.

The WHRO Voice provides audio reading services for individuals who are blind or have difficulty reading due to disability. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Voice volunteers are reading highlights from local news publications in a new program called The WHRO Voice Local Newsstand.

As we look forward to the premiere of The Great American Read on WHRO TV on May 22, The WHRO Voice is launching a second book club series. Listeners will now have two weekly book clubs available to them.

The WHRO Voice is a radio reading service for the legally blind and anyone with a disability that prevents normal reading. This service, offered free of charge and staffed by volunteers, has seen an increase in requests recently.
