1/x Radio remains a fairly extraordinary medium supporting and serving specific cultural economies.

My new hero case for how this can work (and for whom and why, natch...) is the lovely rebel *community radio* as imagined and produced by WERU out of Blue Hill, Maine.

Now listening to Morning Maine via their WERU app http://www.weru.org/

WERU Community Radio – WERU Community Radio 89.9 FM – diverse and grassroots radio serving Midcoast, Downeast & Bangor, a voice of many voices!

WERU Community Radio is an independent, noncommercial, educational media organization. WERU engages with the local community to provide diverse music, independent news, public affairs and cultural content that connects, informs, and inspires.

2/x
It's all-volunteer and most jocks have but one-hour slots and it is eclectic as fuck and my world would be a dimmer place without it now that it is *in me* like only truly authentic art-making can be.

It appears they block Tor. What a shame.

Yes.

If anyone wants to test whether the #radioStation works for them over Tor, here is the direct link:
https://stream.pacificaservice.org:9000/weru_128

A direct link is important inn this case because the actual website for #WeRU is #cloudGlare.Someone ought contact them to request their #radio station be available over #I2P. There are a number of great I2P radio stations, but it sounds like this one would fill a real niche.
