The lead article in the August issue of the Midway Monitor is about Frogtown Radio WFNU 94.1 being on the air.\u00a0 It\u2019s low-power community radio, covers a 5-mile diameter reaching from Har-Mar to the river, from the U of M to the Capital. \u00a0They want to give the diversity of talent in the Frogtown area the chance to be heard.<\/p>\n
Sounds like an opportunity for a member of a historically under-represented minority to get on the air.\u00a0 I\u2019m talking, of course, about Conservatives, who have been systematically excluded from the halls of power in St. Paul since the Great Depression. With your experience in radio, you\u2019d be a shoo-in.<\/p>\n
And your very first program could be an investigative piece.\u00a0 The article quotes the Station Director explaining the need for community radio was driven by people who are not cis-gendered white men having limited access to higher education.\u00a0 I, for one, would love to hear why Brown Institute refuses to accept women, LGBTQIA and persons of color as students.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s an open slot in the programming schedule on Sunday afternoons.\u00a0 The community needs you.<\/p>\n

I’m flattered, but I don’t think Salem would cotton to it.<\/p>\n
However<\/em> – I’d be more than happy to help any Saint Paul conservative who wants to make a go at it; application help, coaching, production…whatever.<\/p>\n
