WDET Member Testimonials

Thank you for supporting WDET! Whether you gave for the first time or you’re a long-time supporter, we want to hear why you became a member of WDET. You may hear your message on-air during our next fundraising campaign!

Here’s how to submit your story:

1) You can give us a call at 313-312-8805 and leave us a voicemail telling us your story.

In your message, please include the following:

  • Your name
  • The city you live in
  • Why you became a member of WDET

2) You can also record your own testimonial. Here’s how to capture your own sound like a WDET reporter!

  • If you have an iPhone, you can use the Voice Memo App pre-installed on your phone.
  • If you have an Android, you may need to download a voice recorder app, such as ASR Voice Recorder, to record your message.
  • If you have a Pixel, you can use Google Voice Recorder.
  • You can also record on your computer using a program like Garage Band for Mac users or a free recording tool like the open-source Audacity.
  • Once you’ve got your sound recorded, send it to us at digitaleditor@wdet.org.

Pro tips for recording:

  • Make sure you are in a quiet space with lots of soft surfaces (carpeted bedroom, a closet full of clothes — if Ira Glass can do it, so can you — blanket fort, your car are all great makeshift studios).
  • Keep it short (no more than 1 minute), sweet and simple!
