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
