Now Playing: YOU!

Lightning 100 has been Nashville’s Independent Radio for 30 years. None of this would be possible without you – our loyal Lightning listeners. Now, we want you to be a part of our voice! Using your phone or other recording equipment, send us a message about your relationship with Lightning 100.

Here are some examples:

How long have you been listening?

Do you listen from far away?

What meaningful song did you hear for the first time on Lightning 100?


We’re also looking for listener voices to read a specific line for us, either on its own or in addition to your message from above: “Welcome to Nashville. This is Lightning 100.”


‘Welcome to Nashville’ embodies our spirit of acceptance and acknowledges the growing membership of our community. Thank you for participating and for being part of our community! Below are some tips for recording.

Recording Tips:

  • Record in the Voice Memo app on your smartphone, then email the file to [email protected] or upload it on this page.
  • Use your headphones with a built-in microphone for the best results when recording with the Voice Memo app.
  • Please keep your messages short! You’ll have the best chance of getting it played on air if you keep it short, sweet, and to the point.
  • We may edit your recording for quality or length.
  • Feel free to use any other recording equipment you have on hand to record yourself, and send or upload it as either a wav or mp3 file
