Music, of course, often evokes strong opinions so the tunes may or may not match your taste (it's…read morepop/rock), but I love that the station is very active in the community. They host various events throughout the year, everything from the kids club at Polaris Fashion Place during the summer to Girls' Nights Out and more. This year, we enjoyed attending the Easter EGGstravaganza Drive-Thru, which was a fun event that the kid really enjoyed. They had various booths handing out candy and other goodies (the cat ears from Cat Welfare was a big hit!), Mr. Sunny, and pictures with the Easter Bunny - all from the car. The station also offers their Treat Truck, which heads around to different events and different neighborhoods (you can apply for yours on their website) and hands out free treats. We've enjoyed everything from Dairy Queen ice cream or popsicle treats at kids club to this year's partnership with Cheryl's Cookies for Cheryl's birthday. We appreciate all of the fun stuff they've put together for the community!

I (actually) like this station. Some of it is a bit much (in terms of music...Aaron Neville and…read moreLinda Ronstadt anyone?) but they are extremely involved in the community and actually have one great website. I secretly listen to Delilah at night, too. She makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. (And no I've never called.) If you haven't seen the new online outlet they are providing to its listeners, go check it out now. Great idea! I am really impressed with the events that they organize, too! I went to one back in April (Girls Night Out) at Whole Foods on Sawmill and it was fantastic! I am really impressed with the lengths this station goes to carve out its own niche in the community and think outside the box.

I LOVE this station. You're practically in my back yard & I didn't know about you.

The Harmonic Lounge was the highlight of my week. Then I tuned in to 103.5 yesterday, and thought I plugged in the wrong numbers. 1980s-era music was coming through my car radio. I then discovered that 103.5 had changed their name to "Rewind" and switched the format to pop tunes. Well.... Rewind is an appropriate term for rehashing music from two decades ago (Don't get me wrong, there are some songs from the '80s that I love, but I can hear them on many other stations). The station no longer stands out, but sounds like a lot of the other FM stations in Columbus. It lost its unique identity. 103.5 is now wallpaper for the masses and no longer a preset on my Bose.

In my punk rock early 20s I would have never dreamed that an oldies station would be one of my…read morefavorite stations, but so be it. I love this station not only because of the delicious irony of a station whose call letters are "O.D.B." playing oldies, but because I love oldies- classic rock and pop songs from the 60s and 70s that everyone in the car can, if they are made of the Right Stuff, sing along with, huge goofy grins and all. I mean, come on, this station has multiple blocks of nothing but The Beatles. Yesssssss. Granted the DJs are beyond corny here. Their jokes are so bad that sometimes I feel embarrassed to hear them- and that's not a cute joke on my part, that's the truth. Horrible, horrible humor. Granted I'm not in the target audience, but I can't imagine many people enjoying fumbled pseudo-sexual jokes made by a smooth-voiced oldies dude. Just... shudder. Still, this is one of the three stations I can stand in Columbus and it is fast becoming my second favorite of those three. Definitely worth a listen in my book.

Hands down the best radio station in Columbus…read more Commercial-free. No annoying DJs or mindless chatter. The morning show is fun and positive, without being 'cheery' or phony. It's random and upbeat without feeling forced. Great selection of rock, punk, pop, and hip hop. Even if you're not a devout Christian you will find this one your preset dial after just a few times listening. Only downside is because they are 100% listener-supported during pledge drive season you will find yourself wanting to switch away during the pitch, especially if you've already donated money yourself. More than worth it to have a great local station with no commercials.

Think Katy Perry, Chris Brown, Jason Mraz, or any of the American Idol kids. Every once in a while, I hear a song I like, but, for the most part, this is not the station for me. The Morning Zoo with Dave and Jimmy is decent to listen to on the way to work. They usually do some pretty funny segments, mainly revolving around pranks on Jimmy. The morning show also features FOUR sidekicks: Kelsey Webb, Chachi, Gandhi, and Patrick. Things can get a little crowded and confusing. I find that the best time to listen is between 7p-Midnight when DJ Maxwell is on. He'll play MIA or Gorillaz.

They were good then, and better now…read more Before I got satellite radio, they were my favorite, playing music and news during the day and the BBC at night. Now, they are still my favorite. The music is eclectic and amazing. Local people, foreign groups, national favorites. They even occasionally play my quirky faves like the Dead and Southern Culture on the Skids (and of course have the Dead Hour.) I mean, come on: jazz (if you're into that.) Blues. Rock. Country. Salsa. House. Reggae. Celtic. Really, anything you can think of, they will play it eventually, and probably have a specific show devoted to it. Staff have always been cool when I've called in with requests, questions, trying to win tickets (and they're always giving away tickets to great shows.) Also cool when I've met a few in person at their yard sales- you should check those out too, for music, computers, etc. News in the morning and evening. Car Talk and other goofiness on the weekends. Dance shows weekend nights. Interviews during the week (Fresh Air is a national treasure.) Even a cooking show. And, they hooked me on my favorite author with a show they used to have, Radio Reader. Community supported, community driven, community centered. Public radio in general is awesome, and we are lucky to have such a great example.
