94.5fm

To make community radio is to speak/listen/organise. This teaches me things:

1. When I listen:
to tune into a conversation is to bear witness to connection; the making and interweaving
of relation. To listen in feels like an intrusion and a sacredness all at once; airwaves wash
over me again and again and again, shattering any possibility that I could be alone, that I
could be separate, that I could be atomised away from all of this breath.
2. When I speak:
to make conversation is an alchemy. I come in with parts of me, you with parts of you. We
go under together and emerge dripping in story. In memory. In dust. When I speak, I
remember that language was spoken before it was written; I remember the way words
sound and stick and feel, travel through my body, how they so easily turn into cries, or
into prayer.
3. When I organise:
radio has a rhythm, a circularity, a heartbeat; everything regenerates, turns around,
comes back. Radio is a place. A place where we commune, fix, learn, weave. Where we
sit together, observe rituals, and remember. There will be radio at the end of the world –
under the dirt and shit and rubble.
