  • It’s easy to think things are fine as they are

  • Nobody’s complained, and some listeners are even giving money

Given all the choices for an audience’s attention, don’t take for granted any break, on-air fundraiser, or communication.

With more than 35 years of experience on both sides of the mic, Michael turns public media’s mission into action with results that resonate for your staff and audience.

  • “The real value of working with Michael is that your team may not just improve, they may transform, thanks to his thoughtful advice and counsel. Michael’s easy-going demeanor made it easy for our entire staff to warm to him personally, but it quickly became clear that he knew exactly what it took to get results. While its been a short while since he has worked with us in fundraising, the benefits continue to resonate. We’re still applying his strategies and techniques in all our drives.”

    — Roger Duvall. General Manager, Radio IQ/WVTF, Roanoke, VA

  • "Michael really helped me to hone my style--he amplified my strengths and helped me feel more confident in areas I needed improvement. One of my biggest challenges was pronunciation and keeping my higher register low. Michael helped me to develop techniques to keep my voice grounded while dramatically cutting down on word stumbles and mispronunciation. What I learned from Michael was immeasurable. He was my biggest advocate while also remaining a guiding light for how to become a better host. "

    - Miranda Fulmore, former WBHM Morning Edition host

  • “Michael Krall is a programmer at heart. When I analyzed his station’s programming in my role at NPR, it was clear someone was paying close attention to the sound and going well beyond the basics. While he excels in the craft of radio, he understands content, how all the moving parts are connected, and has a knack for getting the best out of on-air talent. Any station would benefit from Michael’s knowledge and experience.”

    — Jeff Rowe, Vice President of Programming, LAist (KPCC) and former NPR Consultant

  • “I’ve known Michael for more than 15 years and I find him to be an excellent resource for programming knowledge. I value his thoughtful view of public radio and I am always happy when we can spend some time discussing our industry. He understands the big picture and how it relates to the small decisions and I’m glad he is someone I can call to brainstorm ideas with.”
