Today Is... National Radio Day
Today's Summertime Adventure: Hearing Edition
Close your eyes for a moment… Can you imagine sitting in the cockpit, hearing the engines roar and seeing the control lights glowing? The plane begins to lift off the runway, and your stomach flutters as the ground gets smaller and smaller. Soon, you’re thousands of feet above the ground, zipping in and out of fluffy white clouds that look like giant pillows. As the pilot, you’re the one making it all happen!

Are you ready to find out what it takes to soar among the clouds?
