Welcome to the Grapevine: a series of radio essays weaved around stories and histories of unruly radio and radioesque. This first episode serves as a little listening guide and an introduction from the hosts, Matteo and Ieva, as they sit together in the Cashmere Radio studio in Berlin to play around with some definitions of radical, alternative, community radio and other. We invite you to tune in and join our attempt with an open ear – hoping you’ll overhear something intriguing.
