Sex and Broadcasting: A Documentary about WFMU

Today, November 15, Sex and Broadcasting, a documentary about freeform radio station, WFMU, premieres as part of the DOCNYC film festival. The documentary profiles this extraordinary radio station, located in Jersey City, New Jersey, and also streaming worldwide on Internet, and its struggles to stay afloat in the aftermath of the Great Recession.

I would call it a unique project except that two friends of mine were working on a documentary about KCSB-FM, the Santa Barbara, California radio station where I volunteered, hosted a few radio shows, and even worked as the general manager back in the go-go nineties. Without the slightest bit of exaggeration, KCSB has a lot with making me who I am today.

The documentary project stalled out a few years ago, but on a hard drive somewhere, there exists footage of a lengthy interview I gave as part of that project. I should probably see if I can get that footage just to have it.

Support Freeform Radio… Get Swag (maybe)

Pledge to the WFMU Marathon!One of my favorite parts of living in NYC has been having this radio station always on the dial (and, yes, online, too). It reminds me of the halcyon days at KCSB-FM. Ahhh…

Pledge generously and support this extraordinary stalwart of freeform radio. We need more of these autonomous, listener-supported radio stations.

Hurry up, though. The marathon ends on Sunday.
