Happy Holidays from Boston Free Radio!
It’s a busy and exciting time at the Boston Free Radio studio. We recently added a number of new shows, a few of which we’ll be highlighting below. We won a $500 grant from the Castus organization to better soundproof our studio. (More info on this new project coming soon!) We are planning upcoming workshops for January and February on editing with Adobe Audition, and podcasting 101. We made a new mixcloud where members can upload their latest shows, cool interviews, and more. And we even got a chance to visit the Boston Music Awards and interview a bunch of incredible local artists. Check out a sneak peek of our interviews with Ed Balloon and Tad McKitterick of Sidewalk Driver below!

Thursdays, 7-8pm live on Bostonfreeradio.com
Hosted by Diane Wong, this one-hour program “welcomes guests in a talk show format to discuss what race means to them; or, how it feels to be a particular race, or what significant reading on race made an impression on them. Guests will be invited irrespective of their relationship, awareness and education about race. Maybe they have never thought about themselves as a racialized human, or maybe they think about race and its effects on them and their loved ones every single day of their lives. The object of the show is simply to allow people to talk about race to raise their awareness and their voice. We need to practice talking about race intentionally and out in the open…”

Audio-based programming known as podcasting has exploded in recent years as a way of communicating stories. Learn how you can create podcasts in this introductory course. Taught by BFR Station Manager and podcaster Heather McCormack, this class will review the difference between podcasting and broadcasting, explore different types of content and discuss how to curate an interesting podcast. Basic use of our podcasting recording set-up will be demonstrated. Students will be asked to record a podcast interview before the second class, which will then cover the use of Audacity (free downloadable software) and basic audio editing, including adding copyright-free music. The course will end with notes on regulation, distribution and syndication.
