Hello! I am Gutsy Radio founder Mark (aka Mark in MD). An idea I had for many years finally was realized 6 years ago. I believed (and still do) that listening to music together in real time, with a variety of listeners from coast to coast, is a great way to build community and to discover new, exciting, challenging, freeing music. After assembling the tools and training, anyone with a computer, internet connection, and love of music can broadcast. Some of our DJs are restarting after a break and others broadcasting for the first time. Since we started, we’ve had 74 DJs in 21 U.S. states host shows on Gutsy Radio.

Gutsy Radio thrives on generous DJs who volunteer their time to the station. This allows us to keep our expenses low, but not insignificant. Every May we need to raise funds for 50% of our annual expenses.  For that we depend on our incredible community of broadcasters and listeners to show their support. During our 2026 May Marathon we aim to raise $2,500 in funds. All donations go directly to paying for our broadcasting service and required music licensing.

Every little bit helps! As of today, we're fortunate to have raised $1650. Help us crush our goal by raising the remaining $850 by May 31.

Other Ways to Support Gutsy Radio

All sales from the Gutsy Radio store go entirely to funding the operations of the station. Pick up a t-shirt, water bottle, drinkware, bandanas, hats and more that show your support for freeform, independent radio.

And if now isn’t a good time to give financial support, that’s ok. We also appreciate help spreading the word about what we are doing. Tell a friend, colleague, family member, stranger, whoever about Gutsy Radio.

Thank you!
