Free Radio Santa Cruz (101.3 FM and freakradio.org) is still broadcasting and streaming, but since we are homeless (or studio-less), the shows are all previously recorded, and so far I've not yet acquired the skills to make new shows.

All is not lost, however, for here's a show--previously aired on August 16, 2007 about a week-long campout which came to be called "Homies for the Homeless" at City Hall. It began as a one day/one night sleep-out attended by activists from Los Angeles and ended up as a week-long sleepout run by unhoused folks.

Freedom Sleepers are preparing their 14th Tuesday night sleepout for 10-13. The Homies for the Homeless sleepout of 8 years ago took place after weekly protests in front of then-Councilmember Ryan Coonerty's Bookshop Santa Cruz.

I am still gathering material to broadcast some contemporary if prerecorded shows, and hope to be doing so soon.
