Radio Free Nashville: Low Power for the People

I've decided to try something new here. In addition to my work with Spoke Films, I will be working from now until the election as Tennessee's "Citizen Journalist" for MTV News' Choose or Lose Street Team '08. I have free editorial control to pursue whatever stories I find interesting and relevant to this community, so please feel free to drop me a line if you have any suggestions.

So, occasionally, I will be re-posting some of my MTV Street Team content here. The following is a video I produced for the Street Team campaign covering the good people at WRFN, an indie radio station outside Nashville working tirelessly on behalf of media reform among other issues. It was originally posted here at think.mtv.com.

About the video: In the rolling hills of Pasquo, TN (a rural suburb just outside Nashville), sits one of the nation's few fully licensed low-power FM radio stations. Offering a wealth of political views, diverse music, and community news, WRFN is a true voice of independence. They make a strong case for the continued relevance of radio in the digital age, and they are also fierce advocates for media reform at the national level.
