History
Once upon a time, radio was a tool for empowerment, a medium that provided a voice to the unheard and brought communities together. Today, we live in an age in which the media is too often used as a means to constrain and restrict rather than express. Radio Free Brooklyn aims to build a communication infrastructure to strengthen the community of artists who have been driven from the Manhattan neighborhoods we once called home before being scattered to the corners of the outer boroughs. Gone are the cheap storefronts we once inhabited, so now we inhabit a virtual space, one that can be accessed with the click of a mouse or a swipe of a screen. But we are still here. We choose Internet radio not only because it is the most accessible medium for many, but because radio can be so many things: a subversive apparatus, a political cudgel, a prank, a ritual, a bond. We are inspired by the radio pioneers of the past and gratefully acknowledge their shoulders on which we stand: Radio Caroline,
