The show was founded by then-student Andy Nagypal in 1999 and focuses on topical issues relating to students at Penn State as well as concerns of the surrounding State College and Centre County communities.

According to the management of The LION 90.7fm, Radio Free Penn State has historically attracted the station's highest regular listenership behind its annual sports broadcasts of Penn State football[citation needed].
