Welcome to "The Radio Art Hour," a show where art is not just on the radio, but is the radio. "The Radio Art Hour" draws from the Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive, an online resource that aims to identify, coalesce, and celebrate historical and contemporary international radio artworks made by artists around the world, created specifically for terrestrial AM/FM broadcast, whether it be via commercial, public, community, or independent transmission. Come on a journey with us as radio artists explore broadcast radio space through poetic resuscitations and playful celebrations/subversions of the complex relationship between senders and receivers in this hour of radio about radio as an art form. "The Radio Art Hour" features introductions from Philip Grant and Tom Roe, and from Wave Farm Radio Art Fellows Karen Werner, Andy Stuhl, and Jess Speer. The Conet Project's recordings of numbers radio stations serve as interstitial sounds. Go to wavefarm.org for more information about "The Radio Art Hour" and Wave Farm's Radio Art Archive.

Israel's brazen assassination of Shireen Abu Akleh has shaken the Palestinian world. For 25 years she was on television in every Palestinian home reporting for Al Jazeera News Service from the hot spots of the Israeli occupation. Seemingly everyone knew Shireen; she was a trusted voice reporting the news day in and day out. Responding to her death, the popular Al Jazeera news program, The Stream, featured a forum on Shireen and her work. It reflected the love and admiration of Shireen’s friends and colleagues. the most extensive US coverage of Shireen’s assassination was by Amy Goodman on Democracy Now: she invited Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi to set in context our loss of Shireen.
