Our Mission To connect, inform and inspire by offering information and entertainment in any way that honors the dignity of people of all ages who cannot use standard print due to a disability. History of VOICEcorps The Central Ohio Radio Reading Service was founded in April of 1975 by Irwin Hott, Fred Allemeier and Stanley Doran; all three of these gentlemen were blind. Our first day on air was November 17, 1975. We became known as VOICEcorps reading service on July 30, 2004. We broadcast 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, 8,760 hours annually with 250 volunteers. VOICEcorps has 20 volunteers today who have been volunteering the entire life of the VOICE corps reading service. Special thanks to Winifred Robinson, a long time volunteer reader, who, in 1997, donated $250,000.00 which aided the relocation and expansion of VOICEcorps operations.
