As long as I was checking out radio documentary movies, I remember that another one was supposed to come out, if they got the funding to do so. 40W From Nowhere.   https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kblt/40-watts-from-nowhere-the-kblt-documentary   Well, that sucks. (Hey Andrew!!!! Do you see a potential Hobby Broadcasting podcast interview here?) Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm???
The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

I had a chance to do a show on that station. A co-worker had a show there and was encouraging me to ask for a show too - said he'd give me an introduction. In retrospect, I rather think I should have taken him up on his suggestion. At the time though, I already had a more than full-time DJ gig, so was already getting my jollies that way.

The book that Sue wrote about her station is a great read. Sorry to hear that they didn't get the funding for a documentary.
