Paper
Radio (formerly Signals) is a zine for the radio obsessed, especially
for those who pine for radio as it used to be (which is before my time,
but I can appreciate the sentiment). Pirate radio, shortwave
radio, AM/FM, ham radio, even internet radio, if it has anything at all
to do with radio and radio culture, it gets discussed in this zine.
Issue #7 includes an interview with pirate radio broadcaster, John Poet,
and discusses the controversy behind his recent FCC bust. It also
includes thoughts on the vinyl revolution, an interview with DJ Little
Danny, Lee Widener's account of an interesting LSD experience, and much
more. In issue #8, there is a discussion of telegrams, an interview with
Kevin Carey about longwave signals, reviews of select Yoga Records
releases, short fiction by William Jackson, and of course much more. DJ
Frederick is passionate about the art and science of radio, which is
made very clear in the pages of his zine. If you have any interest in
radio at all, this zine is definitely worth checking out. It excels
at shedding some much needed light on this under-appreciated and
declining medium.
DJ Frederick is a one-man media empire.
