Community & the Jungle Circle

Community spotlight collage: the neighbor who welcomed us, the Bronx businesses that signed up to support the station, and a QR code to send a shout-out
Thank you to our Bronx supporters.

The neighborhood gathers here — and your voice goes on the board, and on the air.

Everything Community Corner talks about lives here after the show ends: real dates, deadlines, and standing resources, with the details to actually use them. And the Circle is one click away — the neighbors whose monthly support keeps the hosting paid, the production running, and the community work covered, so the news on this page never has to carry a price tag. Your voice. On the board. On the air. The station’s community board: neighborhood announcements and listener shout-outs, posted here and read on air — by the Conductor on the rides, and by Emperor Baoyu at night. Real submissions only — nothing on this board is invented, ever.

Announcements & Shout-Outs

The board

Approved announcements and shout-outs, posted here and read on air. Real submissions only — nothing on this board is invented, ever.

The board is open — and honestly empty.

No announcements or shout-outs have been posted yet. The first voices on this board will be yours.

How it works

For the neighborhood

Community announcements

Block events, church programs, school news, local services — if it serves the neighborhood, it belongs here. Email shoutouts@concretejungleradio.com with the subject “Announcement.”

For your people

Listener shout-outs

Birthdays, anniversaries, encouragement, dedications. Email shoutouts@concretejungleradio.com with the subject “Shout-Out” — who it’s for, who it’s from, and what you want said.

On the air

Read at night

Approved submissions post on this board and are read on air at night by Emperor Baoyu — in his evening block and inside City Sounds — and on the rides by the Conductor (Ride to Work, weekdays 8:00–8:55 AM; The Ride Home, weekdays 5:55–7:55 PM). Overnight, The Nightkeeper keeps the :55 check-ins (12:55–4:55 AM). Dedications land around 11:28 PM. The Family’s shout-out is read at night.

Send yours — the form

The form is the fast door. It lands in the station’s moderation queue, and a human reviews every submission before anything posts on this board or is read on air. That review is the promise that keeps this board real: nothing invented, nothing automatic. To send an announcement, say who it is for, what it is, and the day, date, time, and place — the five details the Corner needs to list it. For a shout-out, say who it’s for, who it’s from, and what you want said. Email still works too — the addresses above reach the same desk.

Prefer to call it in? Ring the station request line: (929) 531-4762.

Listener Vote

Voice of the Month

The board talks back: this month’s top shout-out contributors stand on the same ballot as the month’s reviewed artists. One vote per email, free always. The winner takes a New Voice Tuesday spotlight and a guest seat at The Cipher.

Take the station with you

The station flyer — print it, share it, hand it over

The station flyer is one page, ready to print — and the half-letter handout beside it, two to a sheet, cut in half and passed on. Both carry the clock, the request line, the job board, the umbrella, and the Circle — and nothing they cannot prove: no dial, no awards, no listener counts. Every line was checked against its source before the files were made: 36 of 36 true on the flyer, 36 of 36 true on the handout, 72 of 72 total. The code on the flyer scans straight to the station — concretejungleradio.com — and nowhere else.

One page · Letter

The full station flyer — the clock, the request line, the job board, the umbrella, and the Circle — on one Letter page.

The Job Board

Work in the sound.

Bronx media jobs, first — for the people who make the sound.

The station’s board for work in our industry: community and commercial radio stations, podcast networks, audio production houses, music labels and artist teams, streaming and local media outlets, and Bronx media and community organizations.

How it works

Employers post. The Desk reviews. The listing goes live.

Step 1

Employers post

An employer fills in the form below — the organization, the role, where it is, what kind of work it is, and how to apply. A salary range is welcome but never required.

Step 2

The Desk reviews

Every submission lands in the station’s moderation queue, and a human reads every one. Nothing is published automatically — nothing invented, nothing automatic.

Step 3

The listing goes live

Approved listings go up on this board, in their category, with the employer’s own words and the employer’s own way to apply. We never invent an apply link.

What it costs

A flat fee, not an auction — priced below what the big general boards charge for one listing. The fee is the fee: no per-applicant charge, no per-click charge, no hidden charges, no “starting at” games. The Desk reviews every submission first; an approved listing goes live once the fee is paid, and the Desk’s reply tells you how to pay.

Standard

$49

One listing, 30 days

Your listing live for 30 days in its category — human review, your words, your way to apply.

Featured

$89

Top placement, 30 days

Everything standard buys, plus the top of its category and the top of the board for the 30 days — plainly labeled Featured.

Community lane

Free

Always free

Bronx community organizations, and volunteer and internship roles, post free — always. The paid lanes fund the free lane.

The board

Open roles

Every listing here was checked against the employer’s own posting before it went up.

Put the role on the board

Send the role and the Desk reads it.

Community service

The board is a neighbor’s service, not a billboard.

This board exists so Bronx people find Bronx work in the industry that raised them — and so the stations, studios, labels, and organizations doing that work find the people who already know the sound. Bronx media jobs come first here, always. The free community lane stays free: a neighbor with a role to fill is heard the same as any employer.

While you’re here, the station is on: Rafael “El Parrandero” carries Saturdays and Domingo “El Consejero” carries Sundays, and the weekday cast keeps the clock on the :55. Listen live →

For Sponsors & Promoters

Late-night ad fillers

The night audience is awake, listening, and grown. Our announcement and promo slots inside the late-night programming are open to real sponsors and promoters — produced in Emperor Baoyu’s voice, over the city-street bed, inside shows listeners stay for. Barter-first, per the station’s sponsorship plan: on-air liners traded for in-store flyers, counter cards, and social posts. Anything paid is decided case by case.

Start with an email: shoutouts@concretejungleradio.com, subject “Announcement” — or see the full sponsor program (barter credits, membership tiers, and the weekly auction these slots are joining) on the Sponsors & Partners page.

The law of this lane: announcements, promos, and shout-outs air only for real submissions that exist. No business is ever named as a sponsor until the relationship actually exists.
