Cashmere Specials x BGNM – (Not too much) History of Experimental Radio

How does the medium of radio influence music, and how has this relationship transformed over time? Together with radio moderators, scholars, and artists, this episode takes the form of a lecture-concert, threading (not too much) history of experimental radio with discussion on current experimental radio projects and radio as a medium for building community and solidarity. Designed to be a snapshot of our (post?)-pandemic time, this episode explores the enduring possibilities of radio as a space for experimentation, communication and collaboration.
