Summary

Host Lenny Vaughn explores how unlicensed microbroadcasters in 1990s America fought for community radio access, leading to the 2010 Local Community Radio Act. From Zoom Black Magic Radio in Fresno to Free Radio Santa Cruz, roughly 800 formerly pirate stations transitioned to legal low-power FM licenses, proving grassroots persistence could reshape federal broadcasting law and give marginalized communities their own voices on the dial.
