This is something that I recently discovered. It’s great to see artists finding ways to come together during the pandemic and I think this is a great way for it to happen, feeling a little more organic and spontaneous and actually effective than the podcast formats which have become much more popular.
From their site: “An offshoot of Montez Press, Montez Press Radio was founded in 2018 with the goal of fostering greater experimentation and conversation between artists, writers, and thinkers through the medium of radio. This platform is an experiment in broadcasting and community building which allows different corners of the art world to interact with each other in person and on air—a place where media finally meets flesh. Offering space and time to both the established and emerging or underrepresented, we are drawn to art that exists in the unexpected, the authenticity of sharing without a script, the sounds of ideas in the making, conversation that forgets there’s an audience. We strive to question current knowledge economies while doing our best to interrupt commercial means of communication. All of our in-studio broadcasts are free and open to the public. Stop by when we’re live at 46 Canal Street #2 in NYC or look at the schedule to see if we’re off-site and broadcasting near you. Queries and programming proposals can be sent to radio@montezpress.com or message us on Instagram.”
