As an educational organization, KZFR has always offered free comprehensive training in all aspects of non-commercial radio broadcasting to anyone in the community who is interested in hosting their own show on the Mighty Zephyr. Community members are welcome to attend an Orientation, submit a show proposal to the Program Committee and participate in the free training.
