Among
the stories told in the book are: Radio
Echo of Moscow and the August 1991 coup d'état; two women's radio
projects – in Peru and the Philippines: how indigenous people's radio in
Canada and Mexico strengthen their communities: the Marconi
Radio Taster's Café that is the doorway to the world of Radio

"pirate" station that has challenged the police and the Federal
Communications Commission in the USA; the role of the El Salvadoran
guerrilla station Radio Venceremos
in a major rebel offensive. The
electronic edition also includes a new chapter about Radio
Chaguarurco, a station serving rural communities in Ecuador.

The
book is also available in Spanish as Radioapasionados:
