'educated radio pirates’

There is a new radio program on the coast of Labrador called ‘All Indigenous Power Hour’.


No, it is not another power to the lord or Christ or even Jesus or Allah [not that there is anything wrong with that].


If the two host have their way it will be power to the people.

Now that is a novel concept, I am sure it will give the creeps to certain power brokers within the Nunatsiavut Government [my words].

One of the hosts, Tj did an interview on CKOK yesterday and both hosts, Tj and Jea were on CBC Labrador Morning this AM. [I will link to it when it is up]
It is up.
Tj referred to themselves as ‘educated radio pirates’. I can’t comment on the pirates bit but they sure come across as educated.

Both admit to being media neophytes with education backgrounds in Aboriginal studies, psychology and political science.


Being only aired in Makkovik at 4 pm Sundays will limit their audience, but with today’s technology and the two hosts youth, education and enthusiasm I would predict it should not be long before the program will be up on the internet, it least that would be my hope.

At the moment they have a facebook page by the same name, here is a description from that page
