New in the TIC Archives!

Talking Information Center’s latest Radio Theater production, “Chester’s Dilemma” – another episode from the popular western drama Gunsmoke is now available to stream!

By golly, Chester’s in love--but does the object of his affection want more than just his attention?

Laura Kerrigan directs this production, which features the voice talents of: Matthew Porro (front, left) as Charlie and the Announcer; Pam Murphy as Miss Kitty; Rick Mason as Marshal Matt Dillon; George Krein as Doc; John Kopec (back, left) as Hans; Don Smith as Chester; Karen Hayes as Edna; and Steve Mastrorilli as Jonas.

Don’t miss this radio performance —tune in today through our website, app, or Alexa. Need help finding it? Give us a call at the studio: 781-834-4400.

Our radio theatre productions are made possible with grants from the local Massachusetts Cultural Councils of Plymouth, Hingham, Quincy, Scituate, Marshfield, East Bridgewater, Everett, Hanover, Duxbury, Brockton, and Abington.

As our birthday month comes to a close, we have one final wish...

Birthdays are a time to celebrate, reflect, and look ahead. As the Talking Information Center marks 48 years of serving people who are blind, have low vision, or have other print disabilities, we're reminded that our mission continues because of caring people like you.

While birthdays are a wonderful reason to celebrate, supporting TIC doesn't have to wait for a special occasion. Every day is an opportunity to make a difference.

If you've been thinking about giving, we'd be honored to receive your gift—today or any day of the year. Every donation helps us continue providing free, accessible news, information, and entertainment to listeners across Massachusetts.

Give a birthday gift or make a donation anytime by visiting:

Thank you for celebrating with us this month, for believing in our mission, and for helping ensure everyone has access to the printed word through the power of the human voice.

Happy Birthday to the Talking Information Center!
Today, we proudly celebrate 48 years of connecting people to the printed word through the power of the human voice.
On June 19, 1978, TIC began as the first radio reading service of its kind in New England. What started with a dedicated group of volunteers and a shared vision has grown into a statewide service that provides free access to news, information, books, magazines, and so much more for people who are blind, have low vision, or have other print disabilities.
For 48 years, our incredible volunteers, loyal listeners, generous donors, and community partners have made this mission possible. Because of you, thousands of people stay informed, connected, and engaged every single day.
Help us celebrate!
