We are a collection of citizens, artists, journalists and geeks dedicated to gathering raw cultural products and refining them for broadcast and webcast. We're like folklorists who employ multiple traditions to present stories, news, music and poetry made by everyday people. And we want to teach others to be like us.
Visit our free open studio workshops every week:
Wednesdays, 6pm
Fridays, 2pm
Saturdays, 10am - 4pm
at Vocalo.org, Chicago Public Radio, Navy Pier in Chicago.
Our favorite quote: "Ah the soft, of your touch, baby it's all over me. Let's meet at the factory tonight, let's meet at the factory..."
