Radio Survivor

This week, we take a close look at the his­to­ry of an influ­en­tial Span­ish lan­guage com­mu­ni­ty radio sta­tion: KDNA. Locat­ed in Wash­ing­ton State, the sta­tion launched in 1979 and serves a rur­al com­mu­ni­ty which includes farm work­ers and immi­grants. Our guest, Mon­i­ca De La Torre, is Assis­tant Pro­fes­sor at the School of Trans­bor­der Stud­ies at Ari­zona State Uni­ver­si­ty and is the author of a forth­com­ing book about KDNA called Fem­i­nista Fre­quen­cies: Com­mu­ni­ty Build­ing through Radio in the Yaki­ma Valley.
