Progressive Media’s Fragile Democracy: Pacifica Radio, the original listener-supported network, is hovering on the edge of insolvency, while legendary station WBAI is under siege. It’s happened before. But this could be the end. What does it say about progressive media and democracy? Former CEO Greg Guma begins a new series that goes behind the headlines. In this episode, the latest WBAI shutdown, Dan Coughlin’s journey, and the struggle that remade Pacifica governance. Plus, clips from the 2006 election series, Informed Dissent, and from a rare 1970 “War and Peace” recording, with dozens of famous voices — part of the longest live reading in radio history.
