Tune into Radia at 3:30 pm today for “Poetics of Liberation” by Red Forest

“This final sonic and experiential conversation navigates the myriad topics raised over the course of Nomadic Cosmologies and Fugitive Power, weaving climate struggles with environmental justice and transformative futures. This closing is also an opening and an invitation to engage with the socio-ecological dimension of energy and people’s resistance against the epistemic injustice that is present in extractivism, datafication and a narrative that claims it cannot be otherwise. It is also a call to celebrate and defend the many forms of life that need space to flourish on their own terms. To mobilize with the overcrossing rebellious rhythms and the ancestrality of
resistance.”

With Sezgin Boynik, Alberto Torres, Giovanna Esposito Yussif and Sónia Vaz Borges, Sonic Intervention with DJ Zhao

Tune in today at 4pm for the audition of Rebecca Echevarria’s show “Meant to Ferment”!

Meant to Ferment is a space to explore, learn about and revel in the fermentation world of the Hudson Valley. Host Rebecca Echevarria interviews practitioners including, but not limited to, artists, brewers, farmers, microbiologists, writers, winemakers, and picklers. Music and other forms of food sound media can often be found here too. This program seeks to foster connections in this community, showcase the unique offerings of those in this field and address some of the more technical and scientific aspects of fermentation.

In this episode, Rebecca will be speaking with Darich Pérez Reyes, a prolific fermenter, artist, gardener, cook and more, who is based in the Hudson Valley. He was born in Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico and we will discuss his practice and passion for ancestral fermentation, learn about fermentation in Puerto Rico and dive deeper into a particular ferment he holds close to his heart, pique, a traditional hot sauce from the island.

If you are interested to learn more about Darich and his practice, Puerto Rican fermentation, and pique, check out the link in bio!

Sophie Allison has always written candidly about her life, making Soccer Mommy a beloved indie rock artist of the last decade. Allison has used Soccer Mommy’s songs as a vehicle to sort through the thoughts and encounters that inevitably come with the reality of growing up. After all, Soccer Mommy began as a bedroom-to-Bandcamp exercise with teenage Allison posting her plaintive songs as demos. Over the years, though, she has often enhanced that sound, using the endless production possibilities, newly at her fingertips, to outstrip singer-songwriter stereotypes. The records would start with songwriting’s kernels of truth, and she would then imagine all the unexpected shapes they could take.

Multi-instrumentalist, composer, performer and curator L’Rain (Taja Cheek) returns with her third album I Killed Your Dog. Over-writing themes of grief and identity that informed her previous work, I Killed Your Dog considers what it means to hurt the people you love the most. Multi-layered in subject and form, L’Rain’s sonic explorations interrogate instead how multiplicities of emotion and experience intersect with identity. The experimental and the hyper-commercial; the expectation and the reality; the hope and the despair. “I’m envisioning a world of contradictions, as always,” Cheek explains. “Sensual, maybe even sexy, but terrifying, and strange.” Written amidst heartbreaks from the perspective of an earned maturity, I Killed Your Dog takes the sonic world laid out by L’Rain in 2021’s album Fatigue on a compelling new trajectory.

Tune in tonight at 7pm as “Race Talks®” delivers an episode you won’t want to miss. Two compelling voices from opposite ends of the political spectrum come together for a candid conversation on the theme “Race & Republicans” with a focus on the specialized topic, “Reinventing Racism.” Host Kimberly Erwin–a passionate Democrat, entrepreneur/educator/author, and advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion–welcomes Dan Grandinetti, lifelong Hudson resident (and schoolmate of hers!) to the conversation. Dan is a proud husband, father of three, and a well-known community leader. Holding positions in government and politics, such as Columbia County Supervisor, former Youth Commissioner, and Republican Chairman of the City of Hudson, among others, Dan brings a wealth of Republican party knowledge to the table. Fresh from attending Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden, he’ll share why he cast his vote for Trump and offer a personal perspective on what that decision means to him.

Kimberly, an unwavering supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris (for President) and known for fostering meaningful dialogue and creating space for diverse perspectives will bring her signature energy to the conversation with Dan. Together, they will espouse their views in a discussion that promises to be as spirited as it is respectful. Hear how they explore the inauguration of Donald J. Trump for a second term—and its veritable contrast with the celebration and meaning of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, with the Roundtable portion set to highlight what is Radical v. Reasonable challenging listeners to examine the balance between ideology and action.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to reflect on the evolving ideals of America. Tune in to “Race Talks®” on Tuesday, January 21st, airing at 7:00 PM EST. Call-in opportunities will be available, with on-air producer Garrett Roche, host of The Roche Solid Truth podcast sharing details during the broadcast.

Tune in at 3pm for the next installment of “unknown sounds” produced by Elena Botts, featuring Yanka Kosmos.

Yanka Kosmos is a performer, movement researcher and historian of global movement cultures.

“unknown sounds” is intended as a radio archive of experimental artists’ interior worlds, these that are externalized through their work, and the interchange through artist communities. This is a contemporary archive of experimental art-making in communities around the world, the inherent politicism of art, and the social change this may or may not represent. In short, it is intended mostly as a look into these small worlds, with the idea of generating more thought on both human fallibility and potential, and how art can engender hope.

Fontaine Dunn and Maria Ausherman discuss the life and work of Sarah Miriam Peale (1800-1885), one of the first women artists in America. Back in the early 1800s, girls and women did not have many opportunities. Creating art, however, brought big changes into Sarah Peale’s life, especially as a member of the greatest dynasty of American artists. Establishing artistic conventions, she was a trend setter, leading the way for future generations.

Fontaine Dunn is an artist and writer living in Hudson, New York. She taught painting and drawing at Sarah Lawrence College, Princeton University, and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. She also has been an instructor of English for speakers of other languages. She obtained her BFA from Tulane University and her MFA from Carnegie Mellon University and she is the recipient of grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation.

Maria Ausherman is an author and retired teacher living in nearby Stuyvesant, New York. She obtained her BA at UNC-Chapel Hill, her MA at City University of New York, and her MEd at the University of Georgia in Athens where she also studied art history and wrote her dissertation on photography.
