@aSweetGentleman Much better to support genuine public radio: the Pacifica stations, which are truly listener supported, and not corrupted by corporate "underwriters".

The far right has been on the march not only in the United States, but in Italy, Hungary, France and elsewhere, united by racist nationalism, authoritarian populist rhetoric, and a call for law and order. Jordan Camp reflects on the work of Antonio Gramsci, who analyzed the rise of fascism while languishing in Mussolini’s prisons, … Continued

Installed a new "Commercial Broadcast FM band" antenna today, replacing a cheap junk telescoping monopole.
First thing on the air? "Loser" by the #GratefulDead ! (#KPFA #PacificaRadio 'Dead to the World' show, hosted by Tim Lynch)
It must be a sign... @stevesilberman
I still have to test the antenna, KPFA has a repeater like 12 miles away, so it coming in clear doesn't mean much...it would likely come in clear with a paperclip for an antenna...
TODAY IN QUEER BROADCASTING HISTORY
LIVE AND LET LIVE - 7/15/1962, WBAI radio, NYC (and later other stations)
In 1962, New York gay activist Randy Wicker was tired of radio's third-person discussions of homosexuality, with mental-health professionals yammering sickness-theory nonsense about us and saying things that had no connection with gay life as Randy had seen it.
So he approached a radio station that had aired such shows and convinced them to broadcast a panel of eight gay or bisexual men, talking for themselves about their own lives for several hours - a radical idea for 1962. LIVE AND LET LIVE aired on WBAI, and was later heard on other Pacifica stations and other nonprofit and educational radio outlets. You can now listen to it online. Here's part 1:

"After broadcasting an archive symposium produced by its sister station in Berkeley, California, entitled 'The Homosexual in America,' WBAI was challenged by a representative of New York's homosexual community. He complained that no homosexuals had been heard on a broadcast purporting to discuss their situation. This same person then arranged for WBAI to record a conversation between eight pseudononymous homosexuals in an upper West Side Manhattan apartment."--1962 Peabody Awards entry form.
