Review of An Insider's View of Freak Radio
A solid straightforward news-type piece on the state of things at Freak Radio. Given it's a "pirate station", I was hoping for something a little more edgy, some more examples of what IS on the air. I was curious about the station's "personality" - (though everyone's on-air names are intriguing....Reckless, Skidmark, Uncle Dennis). Since there wasn't an actual news item then I think this might have been more engaging as a portrait piece - not just talking heads. In fact this piece is good background but this listener wants to hear/know more. notes to producer.
