That first SnapSessions! 45-minute episode was produced by Doug Nunn, 
Marshall Brown, Ken Krauss, Christine Samas and Steve Weingarten, all of 
whom I have to restrain myself like Doctor Strangelove's hand from 
putting /THE/ in front of, I admire them so much. This link is good:

And it'll be on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg tomorrow (Friday) night, as 
well as 105.1fm KMEC-LP Ukiah at the same time if the equipment 
renovation at KMEC has been completed, and of course all SnapSessions! 
episodes will be on KNYO in future. They'll have their own regular time 
slot. Also stories by David Herstle Jones, see above, and other writers 
in his website https://ThinkInTheMorning.com are regularly read on the 
air at KNYO, as well as stories by dozens of other locals, in prison or 
out, civil or not. Notty Bumbo's poetry. Rich Alcott's street 
interviews. Rex Gressett's uncensored reports on city government. And 
plenty more; it's quite a list.

At the risk of sounding like I have some kind of an agenda, which I do, 
I have to point out that arranging to get these wonderful people and and 
their worthwhile ongoing projects and writing and music on the air at 
KNYO virtually always involves a single quick email interchange, 
initiated by either party: "Can this be on the air?" "Yes." On /my/ show 
you don't even have to ask, just show up with the work or email it to 
me. It's very different from the way things are done at KZYX, where I 
applied to put Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio in late February of 
2012 and am still waiting for any action on that /seventy-six months and 
four-and-a-half general managers later/. Next time they're begging you 
for money over there and holding the public airwaves for ransom, if you 
have some radio dollars to spare and you want to put those dollars where 
they /won't/ all be going into the poke-bag of a handful of arrogant 
bosses barricaded in an office out in the middle of fricking nowhere, 
spread a little love on downtown Fort Bragg KNYO instead: https://knyo.org

Every year since 1989 KZYX has pissed away enough money to fully fund 
fifty (50!) radio stations like KNYO. Real radio is cheap and free, but 
it's not free in the sense of /free hamburger/. What it needs it needs. 
Please consider underwriting a show on KNYO. And if you want your own 
writing or music on KNYO, email it to me memo at mcn.org or come in during 
my show and present it yourself. And if you want your own show on KNYO, 
contact Bob Young and arrange time(s) for it: bobb at poetworld.net

It's truly that simple a process. Live radio studio equipment is easy 
and fun to learn to use. Broadcast frequencies are natural resources 
that belongs to everyone, and it's your right to be on the air.
