AUDIOBOOKS & STORYTELLING
Sometimes the best thing on the radio is simply a great story.
Great Lakes Radio celebrates the spoken word through audiobooks, storytelling, fantasy, adventure, folklore, ancient works, history and journeys created for the imagination.
Some stories are written.
Some are created around a table with a handful of dice.
Some have survived for hundreds or even thousands of years because people simply refused to stop telling them.
Put down the screen for a while.
We'll bring the story to you.
AUDIOBOOKS
Rediscover the pleasure of being read to.
Great Lakes Radio presents selected public-domain books, stories and spoken-word works for your listening enjoyment.
From familiar classics worth rediscovering to strange tales, forgotten works, philosophy, adventure, mystery and books you may never have encountered before, there's always another story waiting to be opened.
Except this time...
you don't have to do the reading.
DUNGEONS & DRAGONS STORYTIME
with Dungeon Master John
Grab your imaginary sword. Things may get weird.
Dungeons & Dragons Storytime takes listeners into worlds filled with heroes, villains, monsters, mysteries, questionable decisions and the occasional spectacular failure of what seemed like a perfectly reasonable plan.
Dungeon Master John guides the adventure through imagination, characters and collaborative storytelling — where the roll of a die can change everything and nobody, including the Dungeon Master, can be entirely certain where the story will end.
You don't have to know the rules.
You don't even have to own dice.
Just pull up a chair and listen to the adventure unfold.
STORIES BENEATH THE LANTERN TREE
Some stories aren't fiction.
Some belong to communities, cultures and generations.
On The Lantern Tree, Minister John Collie explores ancient works, philosophy, folklore, Great Lakes history, old traditions and stories that people have carried forward through time.
A centuries-old text may lead into a philosophical conversation.
An old Great Lakes story may reveal something about the community that stands there today.
And sometimes the best way to understand where we are is to listen to the stories of the people who came before us.

STORIES AFTER DARK
Some stories are simply better when the world gets quiet.
When the day winds down, Great Lakes Radio may take a different turn.
Watch the schedule for special audiobook presentations, unusual stories, fantasy, mysteries, old tales and other late-night journeys into the imagination.
Dim the lights.
Get comfortable.
And stay awhile.
EVERY STORY STARTS SOMEWHERE
A book.
An old legend.
A memory.
A roll of the dice.
A story passed from one generation to another.
However it begins, the important part is what happens after somebody says:
“Let me tell you a story…”
Local Roots. Great Lakes. Global Reach.
