The Grassroots Radio Conference is an annual meeting of community, college and other non-commercial radio stations for the purpose of skill-sharing, training and strengthening ties. We talk with Caitlin Reading, a LPFM station startup specialist who is helping to organize this year’s GRC, happening Oct. 6 – 9 at WCAA-LP in Albany, NY, to learn what will be happening. Then Paul and Jennifer reflect on the two decade history of the GRC, and its evolution and growth alongside the birth and flowering of low-power FM radio.
