Hey all,

Had the idea of drawing up this list for traveling, so that I could get a feel for the culture of a place and also the campaign struggles the people face. Most are available to stream online so I can learn more before I go or deciding where to go, while others are a local only treat that entice me to go and enjoy while I'm there.

Secondly I was interested to research what vestiges of DIY pirate radio activity and community interest in it remained. To which I’m now aware of a few more projects and forums. As well as info on the still large audiences some pirate shows attract, like Galaxy Radio and Omega Radio drawing in just under 50% of all radio listeners in the Caribbean community of London. These are also shows which advocate many community organizing strategies for dealing with issues related to being part of a low income and immigrant community in the capital city.

Finally I’ve been enjoying lightweight trekking and camping with just the bare minimum kit, where every tool has its purpose. So an mp3 player that can last longer because it only has the function of being able to listen to audio saved on the device and live on the airways just makes practical and environmental sense, while being psychologically comforting to my own head space.

If you have any stories of radical radio shows you’ve heard on your travels, I’d love to read.

Much appreciated Matt :)

I'll let you know if I can help out with the library in the future, I want to move all my links to downloadable zines from wordpress to archive.org because it doesn't track users IPs, so when I get round to that it could be a good time to help out with both. These are the 2 big anarchist projects I've got going on my website, then 'Top 25' posts are to make it more digestible:

Anarchist/Socialist Community Directory
Anarchist/Socialist Zine Library

And thanks a bunch Emma, updated the page to include that. I love 'This is Hell!' too.

If you ever want to listen to these when you're not travelling, many (but not all) are available on TuneIn. And you can find loads of other great stations all over the world there, too.
