Listener Powered, Rule Free
from Bare Wires Hosted by Bare Wires
Welcome to Bare Wires—where we trace the signals that keep culture human. Today we’re talking with Ken Freedman, the longtime steward of WFMU, the oldest freeform radio station in the United States: 100% listener-supported, zero corporate sponsors, and DJs who play whatever the hell they want. For over 40 years, Ken has helped build not just a station, but a community—an oasis for eccentrics, artists, and curious minds chasing frequencies beyond the norm. We’ll dig into how he found his way into radio, what shaped his restless creativity, and why—now more than ever—live human DJs matter in a world run by algorithms.
