My Nonprofit Reviews

The people involved in creating Radio Free Brooklyn have always been welcoming, enthusiastic, thoughtful, and engaged. They care deeply about keeping their roots authentic and local, and they pay attention to what it means to be a part of a community. When I first got involved, I was so excited by how much joy these people seemed to take out of their work. Local radio is the perfect way to give a neighborhood a voice, and making it low-cost and accessible is huge for people who otherwise may not have the means to express themselves.

I started as someone who sat in on people's shows to learn more, and because I stuck around, I was welcomed enthusiastically. I now have my own show and am an integral member of the organization. It's a great way for people to learn about the radio industry and do some good. And because New York City is such a big and impersonal place, this personal corner means so much more. Radio Free Brooklyn IS what Brooklyn sounds like.
