Produced by a different "Radia" station each week.

"Radia" is a network of radio stations all over the world interested in new and forgotten ways of making radio. Each week, a different member of the network hosts the show, which the other stations air in Europe, New Zealand, Canada, and in upstate New York. free103point9, WGXC's parent organization, is a longtime Radia member. Tune in to free103point9's contribution, "Radio Readings."

The readings:
• Artists Max Goldfarb and Brian Dewan produced this "reading" of Velimir Khlebnikov’s The Radio of the Future (1921) in 2011. A canoncial text, "Radio of the Future," may be the first real conceptualization of transmission art.

• Alison Knowles is a visual artist known for her soundworks, installations, performances, and books. She was a founding member of Fluxus, and recently Knowles offered her iconic performance “The Identical Lunch” to museum visitors as part of the Museum of Modern Art’s Performance Exhibition Series. On the occasion of a summer garden party benefit for free103point9's FM radio station (WGXC) Alison Knowles performed one of her “Bean Turners,” constructed from beans and paper, Bean Turners and are both book pages and sonic instruments.

• At the same summer garden party, acclaimed film and stage actor Hugh Dancy, performed F.T. Marinetti and Pino Masnata’s “La Radia” (1933) a visionary text, if one that reveals the authors proclivity for Fascism. La Radia asserts what The Radio Must Not Be, what The Radio Abolishes, and what The Radio Will Be.
