Today we are joined by one of the biggest pioneers of pirate radio Sue Carpenter. This chat is around the brand new documentary titled 40 Watts From Nowhere that tells the crazy tale of how her and a band of misfit creatives in the 90's illegally tapped into the Los Angeles airwaves and started a station of their own known as KBLT. It was secretly broadcasted from her own apartment and she spent years of hiding from the FCC as they continued to grow in massive popularity to the point they were getting high profile bands such as the Red Hot Chilli Peppers secretly lead to her home because they wanted to be part of the movement. We talk to her about everything from the moment she first flipped the switch and connected to the airwaves, all the way to her thoughts on the current state of independent media. This story is punk rock to the f**kin core and I dedicate this interview to my fellow indy podcasters / content creators out there doing there thing.
