My October radio adventures in the Pacific Northwest for college radio and community radio conferences are still on my mind as I continue to process the events and my numerous station visits. Earlier this week I published my tour of Portland Radio Project, one of the many new low power FM (LPFM) radio stations that has launched in the past few years. My 150th radio station field trip post, it’s the beginning of a big batch of stories about my October travels to Portland and Seattle.
2018 Year in Review on the Podcast
This week’s Radio Survivor show/podcast is a rare treat with all four members of our team (Eric, Matthew, Paul and myself) waxing on about the state of radio in 2018. It was a great year for community and college radio as well as for podcasting and radio archiving/preservation efforts.
My CBI Recap in Radio World
On the college radio side of things, my recap of CBI’s (College Broadcasters Inc.) National Student Electronic Media Convention is in the new issue of Radio World (print and online). I dig into a handful of sessions, including a ‘zine workshop, a panel on how KPLU participants were able to save their station from being sold to another group, and a look at two timely and important discussions focusing on #MeToo and mental health.
Radio Survivor also did a live podcast recording (episode 165) at CBI in which we spoke with college radio participants about the role of student radio in 2018.
