The world is burning: fires raging out of control; record heat and storms accumulating power and frequency; flooding; disease vectors crossing the species barrier with ease. We may all die, but in the meantime we can listen to the radio. We interrupt our own broadcast to interrupt our own broadcast and to say that “Reception is Interception”, and also to say that rubber bands last longer when refrigerated. Tune in won’t you? From Jonny Farrow, Anna Friz, Steve Germana, Jeff Kolar, and Peter Speer from an Aug. 5, 2021 live broadcast on Wave Farm's Standing Wave Radio, WGXC, Experimental Sound Studio, and a pirate radio station on Chicago’s North Side.

Welcome to "The Radio Art Hour," a show where art is not just on the radio, but is the radio. "The Radio Art Hour" draws from the Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive, an online resource that aims to identify, coalesce, and celebrate historical and contemporary international radio artworks made by artists around the world, created specifically for terrestrial AM/FM broadcast, whether it be via commercial, public, community, or independent transmission. Come on a journey with us as radio artists explore broadcast radio space through poetic resuscitations and playful celebrations/subversions of the complex relationship between senders and receivers in this hour of radio about radio as an art form. "The Radio Art Hour" features introductions from Philip Grant and Tom Roe, and from Wave Farm Radio Art Fellows Karen Werner and Jess Speer. The Conet Project's recordings of numbers radio stations serve as interstitial sounds. Go to wavefarm.org for more information about "The Radio Art Hour" and Wave Farm's Radio Art Archive.
