Volunteer-driven, community radio: CHIRP (Episode 983)

CHIRP Radio Founder/General Manager Shawn Campbell joins for this episode to talk about CHIRP's growth, mission and approach. If you haven't yet had the chance to listen, CHIRP (chirpradio.org) is a totally independent, hyperlocal, "non-comm" station run by volunteers. It's true to the spirit (and perhaps the promise) of radio, and runs live 24/7 from a North Center studio, playing tons of local music along the way. Shawn and I talk about the origin of CHIRP, the differences between non commercial and commercial radio, how music is picked, how volunteers are added to the team, and why events matter.
