009- Stephanie Thornton, War Radio Wonderwoman - a podcast by Lisa Martine Jenkins and Emi Bell

Our most recent episode dives further into the history of radio, and particularly the use of radio as a political tool. History buff and friend Stephanie Thornton shares her research on Radio Free Europe, the U.S. radio program broadcasting to the Soviet bloc during the Cold War. We explore what made this audio project unique in its process and aims, and which aspects of it translate into political media today. Please email us at ontheearwaves@gmail.com with your thoughts on the topic of government media efforts--how does radio function where you are from? Where do you get your news?
