Mission

XRAY puts a microphone to the best and most distinctive of Portland. We strive to create a culturally relevant center for ideas, music and creativity in service of a more open media and a more just community.

Bottom Line for Portland

XRAY provides a purpose-driven alternative to mainstream media. Since March, we’ve launched Portland’s only daily local news podcast, put on a virtual concert series for local creatives and music lovers without in-person shows, interviewed 100+ candidates so democracy doesn’t die in the distance, and kept producing what we love: 168 hours of programming every week, giving a voice to thousands of independent artists, activists, nonprofits, DJs and passionate volunteers. Radio is yours, help us make more.

“XRAY has a kind of success that I think is unique and valuable beyond measure. You help people find their voice. Thank you for helping me rediscover mine.” —Volunteer host on XRAY in the Morning
