Alternative Radio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alternative Radio is an internationally syndicated, 1-hour, weekly radio program, featuring interviews with progressive thinkers and activists. Begun in 1986, it evolved from a program that journalist David Barsamian hosted on community radio station KGNU-FM, in Boulder, Colorado. AR is currently heard on more than 125 radio stations around the world. It is entirely self-funded through donations and sales of recordings of individual programs.
Perhaps the best known of AR's programs have been Barsamian's series of interviews with dissident intellectual Noam Chomsky. Other notable guests who have been interviewed include:
- Tariq Ali
- Jello Biafra
- Robert Fisk
- George Galloway
- Seymour Hersh
- Bill Moyers
- Arundhati Roy
- Howard Zinn

Many of Barsamian's broadcast interviews have been published in book form.
