Have you heard our Sonic IDs on KBIA? They are short audio portraits of life in and around mid Missouri in the form of stories, anecdotes and sounds of the community.

Sonic IDs have been called spoken archives of community life. You may have heard them on our arts and culture program, Off the Clock, which airs Fridays at 5:20pm.

You can now access all our Sonic IDs on an interactive map.

Continue to check back for more sounds of the community.
