Dave Adelson, one of the founders of the LA Sound Posse, talks about the possibilities of radio producers being "hubs" rather than "gatekeepers", creating our own really democratic media and distributing it for little or nothing.

Dave Adelson works as a research physiologist and also spends a lot of his time as a media activist. He has been working with Pacifica Radio for some time and is on the Pacifica National Board as well as the local KPFK Local Station Board in Los Angeles where he lives. He's very excited about the possibilities of radio producers being "hubs" rather than "gatekeepers", creating our own really democratic media and distributing it for little or nothing. He is one of the founders of the LA Sound Posse which is "copylefted" meaning their social justice audio material is not copy- righted and controled but, to the contrary, it is uncontroled and intended to be spread out used freely far and wide in an affordable and decentralized manner as possible. Those involved (and it's open to all) go to events to both record and distribute speeches by activists, writers, and independent media makers. They sell CD's for just enough to cover costs. The new technology of MP3 and the internet makes decentralized and affordable (free??!!) very easy already and Adelson predicts it will become more and more decentralized, accessible and easy to distribute as wireless networks spread. The next two years will see development of the MP3 players and it's up to us as the people's media producers to see that there is plenty of material for people to hear.
