April 12, 2026 – A family of KSST listeners reached out to us with the following information.
“I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for helping support my son and giving him the opportunity to compete for such an incredible experience. Your willingness to share his story truly means a lot to our family….
Also, I have to add—my kids absolutely love jamming out to the oldies on KSST! It’s something we genuinely enjoy together.
Thank you again for your support—we truly appreciate it!”
We want to give a huge THANK YOU to KSST Radio for supporting Dathan and helping share his story with our community!
