The Spring VFR On-air Fund Drive Enviro Show


Greetings Earthlings. It’s time to pay the piper once again. Valley Free Radio runs on YOUR donations, not on corporate largess that dictates content. VFR is independent community radio and The Enviro Show is just one of many locally produced shows that VFR makes possible. Now we are asking you to help keep the show on the air. To help us during the fund drive our roving reporter and legendary troubadour, Tom Neilson joins us for the hour. We’ll engage in a bit of Echo Chamber reverb and do The Quote of the Week and our E- Valley-uation segment, but first it’s time for……..Revenge of the Critters! Jellyfish turn the tables on the fishers.

Seeing Red Radio: April Archive Release: Continuous War 2.5


This archival edition of SRR is a collage of sound samples collected from four years of propagandist radio production, so attribution is nearly impossible as in most cases, these are remixes of re-remixes, but this week’s show relies heavily on the influence and work of Skidmark Bob of Pop Defect Radio, and many other radical musician/remixers who contributed their songs to the media collage page of the DIYMedia website. Soldier testimonials are from the Winter Soldier Project in 2008. More information on the events to be held this weekend in Amherst and Northampton, MA, can be found at the Alliance for Peace and Justice website.
