Hosted by Tom Roe.
Daily radio show about radio art, radio news, media news, and sound art. Radio headlines this episode about an FCC fine for a telephone call that did not get on the air; about TV networks suing Dish Network for making ad-zapping available; and efforts in the U.S. Congress to make domestic propaganda legal again. Plus, we listen to Hethre Contant's talk at the "Trans X Transmission Art Symposium" May 27 in Toronto titled "Lessons from Weimar Radio." The Brooklyn radio artist esplains how The Weimar Republic was the first democracy to engage radio as a mass medium.
