The playlists on www.archive.org are meant to introduce artists & organisations & the cultural, activist and socio political scenes as encountered by radio continental drift at the time. We hope that their slow broadcast from the archives may already reach open ears & join like minds, while more complete sets of recordings are still being edited & uploaded. Your comments & questions will feed the fire. Re-broadcasts & re-mixes can become a starting point for further audio correspondence.
Do get in touch if our words & songs strike a common cord.

Thank you for listening!

http://radiocontinentaldrift.wordpress.com
a broad casting house in the bag of a listener
out to here unheard voices
a branch of the growing networks of sound workers,
audio artists, radio communities, and the street corner academies
of listening and broadcasting
around the world
radio is happening
when people loiter in public places
the air is free!
