The Champaign-Urbana Octopus finally has the last issue on-line, so I can direct you to a two-article series they did on micropower and pirate radio. Writer M.S. Dodds does a nice job giving a brief but coherent history of the movement in Part 1 (which sadly is not on-line yet), and covers the events of the last year, including the bust of Mbanna Kantako and the Congressional routing of LPFM, in Part 2.
Dodds quotes me for her second article. During our interview she told me that mediageek.org aided her in researching the subject. Although I’m always reminded of the things I mean to add and reorganize, I’m glad to know the site can nonetheless be useful. And I AM always interested in hearing from readers with comments, suggestions or stories to follow up on! Drop a line to paul@mediageek.org.
