Radio for the Community
Step aside mainstream media. Make room for the truth, ideas and poetry not bought, sold and regurgitated on the air waves.
Hear about literary innovators: Lawrence Furlingetti, Gertrude Stein, Mary Rudge, Mamacoatl, Roque Dalton, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Jack Hirschman, Roberto Vargas, Jorge Argueta, Fracisco X Alarcon, Mary Wells, Rafael Jesus Gonzalez, Alejandro Murgia, Victor Hernandez Cruz, Nancy Morejon, Pablo Armando Fernandez, Ernesto Cardenal, Andrena Zawinski, Susan Sherrell, Lenore Weiss, Lucha Corpi, , Adrian Arias, Jack Foley and many more.
Hear programs with music and interviews of musical and dance innovators like Camilo Landau, Greg Landau, Francisco Herrera, Omar Sosa, the Looters, Isadora Duncan, Dance Generators and others.
Dynamic programming exploring Occupy movement poetry and current local and national community organizing; the fight against Monsanto and GMOs; Central American peace and justice activism; news of the Cuban Five; the on going struggle for justice for Roque Dalton; current news about immigration and Latin American news, including the historic context, based on my 50 years of reporting and involvement in these events.
Today, I continue my work at KPFA co-producing regularly scheduled programs “La Raza Chronicles,” a Latino magazine format show of music, interview, politics and poetry, as well as “Open Book: the Poet to Poet Series”. I also contribute to “Radio Chronicles” and Women’s Magazine. Check out the posts below to hear some of my programs. See On the Air: Nina Serrano Radio Programs for some of my favorite recent radio shows. And check out My Life in Radio for an essay about my work over the last 50 years.
