Its a local focus on Radio Tacoma

Radio Tacoma, a community radio station, began broadcasting at 101. 9 FM in 2017 and has developed into a platform for local voices and news. The all-volunteer station emphasizes participatory democracy and aims to keep the Tacoma community informed about progressive initiatives. Board Secretary Pam Beal stated that their mission aligns closely with local organizations like Tacoma Weekly. The station features a variety of programs, including "Climate Talk with John Doherty," which discusses local climate issues, and "Sound Poetry," produced by local music artists.

New shows often emerge from community engagement, as seen with the podcast "Coming From Left Field," which discusses politics and current events. The station also hosts "Climate Chats South Sound," focusing on environmental action in the South Sound region. Radio Tacoma prioritizes local independent musicians by opting not to air mainstream music, providing a platform for local talent. With its commitment to community, Radio Tacoma serves as an essential resource for local information and education.
