Tell your friends about BCB!
Bainbridge Community Broadcasting is a community service of BARN, the Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network. Our community podcasts give individuals and organizations on Bainbridge Island a wonderful opportunity to share their events and stories.
You can listen here, via our webpage, or via the BCB app on your smartphone. Or — send us your email address in the space provided at right, and we’ll send you an email each time a new podcast is published! You can also visit our new recording studio at BARN, or sign up to learn how to create podcasts and videos of your own. And if you’re already a fan, don’t forget to tell your friends about BCB: help us share the Voices of Bainbridge Island.

Bainbridge Island Specials
When there’s something special occurring on Bainbridge Island, there’s an opportunity to hear it in this diverse and eclectic set of BCB podcasts — whether it’s a cast doing a radio play, a panel of clergy standing up against climate change, or voices at a vigil at the Japanese-American memorial. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Google Play.
For a teen perspective:
Bainbridge On Campus
BCB’s student partners at the Bainbridge High School Radio Club offer their perspective of the campus and the island community as a whole.
Subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Google Play.
Bainbridge Video Podcasts
When there’s something that is worth seeing in the community, and not just hearing about, BCB will present it as a video podcast.
Some video podcasts tell lively stories about the community, such as the opening of Owen’s Playground. Other videos will illustrate a “how to…” idea, perhaps showing how to make something special at a BARN artisan craft studio.

Our BCB project spans the generations — seniors, other adults, teenagers. And our current group of more than 12 active adult volunteers is supplemented by the students of Bainbridge High School’s Spartan News.
BCB will continue to seek local volunteers — with or without prior radio or podcast experience — to fill openings for interview hosts, studio techs, audio editors, and social media publishers.
