This week the feature is the other NPR – Neighborhood Public Radio. It’s a broadcasting art project, taking open-mic studios to art galleries to connect with the surrounding community through radio. I had a chance this week to stop in to NPR’s storefront studio next door to the Whitney Museum in New York City, where they’re participating in the Whitney Biennial. In part one of my interview, NPR’s Lee Montgomery tells us about Neighborhood Public Radio, its origins and what they’re doing.

A little FOIA request made by a northern California student newspaper reveals how the FCC builds a case against suspected pirate broadcasters. I review that curious information, along with other news updates.

I also discuss NPR’s recent ludicrous comments to the FCC opposing protections for low-power FM stations.
