“We Hope You’ll Like Us!” David Kaufmann and Andy Frecka on KELP
As you’ll learn while listening, we’re very new to radio! So, when Tina, the KELP office manager, caught this photo of us trying to figure out the headphones, we knew this was the perfect picture. :)
David Kaufmann and Andy Frecka never thought they would take on a Christian radio station. But as they get ready to take on that responsibility, they share about what brought them to KELP Radio, and their vision to continue the legacy and serve the community.
