OBR.FM announces Radio Camp! Feburary 24th-March 9th
After a little over a year of broadcasting independent media for and by the 99%, Occupy Boston Radio (OBR.FM) kicks off its two week “Radio Camp” with a meet and greet at its downtown Boston studio at 7pm Saturday February 23rd. All are welcome! Come see our studio, meet our radio hosts and enjoy some indy music, thought and media then spend some time with us as we go to RADIO CAMP!
What is “Radio Camp”? It’s is an opportunity for sharing and learning about the production of indy media through our radio station. In this two week period we plan to immerse ourselves in all the facets of OBR’s operations, from the ins and outs of broadcasting a live program to the behind the scenes work of marketing, fundraising, social networking, podcasting, and engineering.
All of OBR’s events, meetings and activities are open to the public and we encourage you to join in. Check out our schedule, and note especially events below marked with an ** which are geared to the general public looking to delve into indy media.
Contact us if you have any questions or ideas for this exciting period: ra...@occupyboston.org
