Aaron Skudder

Aaron Skudder is founder and owner of Radio Chomsky FM, Auckland, New Zealand.

Inspired by the subsequent media coverage of the 9/11 events, he established Radio Chomsky in February 2002. He named his new FM station after reading 'Manufacturing Consent' and 'Necessary Illusions' by Noam Chomsky, a prominent political dissident.

After two years being a 'voice in the desert', Radio Chomsky began receiving serious mainstream magazine and TV coverage. It now broadcasts in Auckland on 107.1 FM, with affilate stations in Hamilton [The Station 88.6 FM] and Wellington [The Matrix 107.5 FM].

You can listen on-line worldwide at www.radiochomsky.org

Radio Heritage Foundation projects and activities connect radio, popular culture, history and heritage.

The charitable trust has been giving a voice to those involved in radio via our website since 2004 and will continue to do so.

We are inclusive of all visitors, regardless of race, color, sex, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, or disability and aim to connect people of all ages and cultures who love radio

We welcome a sense of wonder from the joy of listening via radio, and from memories retold for the enjoyment of all generations.

We prefer to use environmentally sustainable goods and services where we can afford to, and we provide free community access worldwide to our collections, published research, preservation and promotion activities in a completely paper-free environment.
