On this episode hosts Paul Riismandel and Eric Klein talk with Sabrina Roach, a “doer” with Brown Paper Tickets who has focused her efforts on helping to coordinate and encourage low-power FM stations in Washington State’s Puget Sound region. First, Eric tries to define “great radio.” Then Paul and Eric catch up on news from the network neutrality front, the efforts to keep community radio KUSP in Santa Cruz from being sold, and a LPFM station aiding with flood efforts in Texas. We get a college radio update from Jennifer Waits, and Eric shares some highlights from the Radio Free Culture podcast. Finally, we learn how to respond to strange broadcasts from Matthew Lasar.
