Every supporter receives one complimentary Captain 97 T-shirt—and an invitation to come hang out with us at the studio. If you have ever wondered what it feels like behind the microphone, you can even join us on air as a guest host and experience being a Captain 97 DJ for a day.
We'll use the email and shirt size from checkout to make arrangements. Studio visits and guest-host appearances are scheduled in advance and follow station guidelines.
