Radio has an incredibly intimacy capability, being able to transport the listener to different conversations in sonic journeys. Aire Libre 105.3 fm (Free Air) is my favorite radio station based in Mexico City. This station has become notorious because of its experimental programming and its focus on social justice. One of my favorite programs of Aire Libre is Radio Barrio (neighborhood radio), this program consist of broadcasting in different neighborhoods of Mexico City, where they explore the neighborhood native music and art scene. Its basically a sonic journey through a city.

The episode above of Radio Barrio is set in the National Autonomous University of Mexico (Radio Barrio, 2019). The episode explores the current art scene of the students and the sociopolitical problems they are facing. I thought it was very interesting and I felt as if I was visiting the university among the radio conductors.

I love the concept of Radio Barrio and I would like to try a concept similar to it. With tools like Locus Sonus I could also broadcast from different locations, creating sonic journeys and experiences.
