For the Wild

WRFA Radio — Fri, 23 Apr 2021 11:38:32 +0000

We join some of the brightest thought-leaders and visionaries of our time– to uplift a multitude of perspectives, to amplify grassroot voices, and to tell stories that would otherwise disappear in mainstream media. Key topics include the struggle to protect wild nature, to promote ecological renewal and resistance and to heal from the disconnection furthered by consumer culture and human supremacy.

Not only does this work aim to produce an anthology of the Anthropocene, but it also strives to support a new paradigm of earth renewal through conservation and restoration ecology.

Our work is powered by socially aware community, informed by decoloniality and Traditional Ecological Knowledge, and committed to working responsibly, at the intersection between social and environmental justice. In these challenging times when access to information about climate change and social resistance are under threat, when the criminalization of dissent is increasing and when scientists are being silenced, the free, independent media are last watchdogs for sharing the truth. This is what we aim to do with the podcast.

Book Waves

WRFA Radio — Fri, 20 Sep 2013 10:55:33 +0000

BOOK WAVES started back in 1977 on KPFA-FM in Berkeley as an hour-long program about science fiction and science fiction writing called “Probabilities Unlimited.” The first program was hosted by Lawrence Davidson, with Richard Wolinsky at the controls. One of the guests was novelist Richard A. Lupoff.

A couple of months later, Wolinsky and Davidson became co-hosts and co-producers for the second program. After a handful of other hour-long specials, the program retitled “Probabilities” and was placed into a weekly slot as a half-hour show, and Lupoff joined Wolinsky and Davidson as co-host. During the next few years, Wolinsky gradually become sole editor of the pre-recorded program and eventually sole producer.

By the early 1980s, the show expanded into the mystery genre, with forays into westerns. During the late 1980s, Davidson graduallly phased out, and the program became a two-man show, nicknamed “the Richard and Richard show” by regular listeners, and expanded to include literary and popular fiction as well as narrative non-fiction and political topics. There was a brief foray into satellite syndication in the late 1990s as Cover to Cover which ended in 1999 when Pacifica nearly went under.

In 2001, after numerous extended sabbaticals, Lupoff departed the program as an interviewer and the show was renamed Bookwaves. This was simultaneous with the move from tape to digitral recording and with the rise of the web and the creation of this website. Bookwaves began its current syndication life at the Pacifica Audioport website in 2006.
