Sex & Broadcasting: A Handbook on Starting a Radio Station for the Community

"A goldmine ... wiser and funnier than almost any book in the field ... the richest account yet published of the ways in which broadcasting is experienced, by both listener and broadcaster ... this is a wonderful book." -- The Times (London) Literary Supplement
Nominally a guide to starting a home-grown, community radio station, this idiosyncratic book offers much more than that, including a passionate defense of noncommercial broadcasting. Lorenzo W. Milam, a pioneer in the development of listener-supported community radio, shares his enthusiasm and insights in a volume that has already inspired a generation of broadcasters and listeners and is poised to do the same for the podcasting generation. Although the details may change, the desire to communicate directly and honestly with a wider audience is a constant, and this impulse is fueled by Milam's splendidly eccentric handbook.

Writer and activist Lorenzo Wilson Milam was instrumental in starting many of the first listener-supported community radio stations in the United States. From the early 1960s through the late 1970s, he founded 14 stations. His other books include The Myrkin Papers and CripZen.
