I couldn’t fit all of my interview with DJ Her and DJ Him into the Nov. 25, 2005 edition of the radioshow. So here is the rest of the interview, where we talk more in depth about the making of their documentary film, Pirate Radio USA.

An unlicensed community radio station has been serving the devastated Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans since just a few days after hurricane Katrina. The station has been providing much needed information to residents who stayed or are returning to an area that still has few services. Recently, the FCC visited the station, causing volunteers to shut it down.
In this interview Free Radio Santa Cruz’s V-Man talks to one of the volunteer who sheds light on the real situation in New Orleans.

I really enjoyed talking with Ken Freeman, station manager of the great freeform community station WFMU. Our conversation lasted more than a half hour, but there’s only time for half of it during the show. So I decided to make the other half available for download/podcat.
This part of the conversation is a bit more radio geeky. We talk about how WFMU is programmed, and Ken’s philosophy on shifting the schedule around, and asking programmers to take sabbaticals every so often to freshen things up. As a former chair of the WEFT Programming Committee (and college station program director), I’m always interested in hearing how station handle the fact that every station needs some shaking up and innovation every so often.
It’s about 14 minutes.

On Oct. 31 the FCC approved the mergers of SBC with AT&T and Verizon with MCI. Some of the issues that cropped up with these mergers are also on the table for a massive rewrite of telecommunications law with the upcoming Telecommunications Act of 2006. Marc Cooper of the Consumers Federation tells us more about what we can expect, and what we should look out for.
We’ll also hear an encore of an interview with Aaron Glantz, an independent, unembedded reporter who filed reports for Pacifica radio from Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein.
