Sex & Broadcasting
This is the classic guide from the 1970s about how to start a community radio station. For twenty years it was irrelevant because you could not start community radio stations after 1978- but the book did serve as inspiration for countless pirates and low power radio advocates. For a taste of what its like to be a community radio operator and a FCC licensee- this is the book. You¬â¬€ˆ†ll also notice that most of Pete Tridish's supposedly original thoughts, high minded sentiments, rhetorical flourishes and even writing style (or lack thereof) are shamelessly pilfered from this text. $15.00
