James Richard is named Executive Producer for Episode 531 following a $233.33 donation. The hosts discuss a listener's suggestion regarding Low Power FM (LPFM) radio applications opening in October 2013. They dismiss the LPFM window as a "scam" and a "farce," noting that the legal, survey, and equipment costs can exceed $50,000 for a very limited broadcast radius, effectively setting up community broadcasters for failure.
The FCC's opening of applications for 1,000 new low-power FM (LPFM) stations is discussed as an opportunity for non-profits to broadcast independent content. This is contrasted with the obituary of Austin Goodrich, a former CBS News reporter who was revealed to be a career CIA officer, raising questions about modern intelligence infiltration of the press.
The FCC is reportedly opening up new licenses for Low Power FM (LPFM) stations in October. This is suggested as an opportunity for producers to start community radio stations as an alternative to NPR.
