CALENDAR “Alternative Radio” host David Barsamian chats with thinkers and revolutionaries week after week on his radio show airing on 200 stations across the country, including here in Lane County on 97.3 FM, KEPW Community Radio. Barsamian has written books with Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Arundhati Roy and Edward Said, to name a few of the luminaries he has collabo- rated with. On May 18, Barsamian speaks on the importance of independent media as a means to a sustainable future at fundraiser for KEPW . The new radio station is a project of Eugene PeaceWorks, which says the radio station is “committed to airing diverse voices, music and discussion of controversial issues from unique local, regional and national programs and per- spectives.” David Zupan of Eugene PeaceWorks says, “We are providing a forum for local voices to be heard that have either been marginalized or almost totally excluded from our airwaves, including seniors, women, children, youth, LBGTQ, homeless folks and communities of color.” KEPW is airing “Alternative Radio,” which was dropped by local NPR affiliate KLCC, as well as “Democracy Now” and other local and national programming. To view a schedule or to stream online go to kepw.org. Barsaminan will also speak at Lane Community College through the Lane Peace Center that same day.
