We know the story of WFMU, 91.1 FM New York. Not specifically that station, but about hardworking folk who work at a radio show, doing shows and the work it takes to make them out of pure love (e.g. no money), devotion and a sense of duty to the community. We have been doing it for years, for our show – Beatz & Lyrics – every week, for listeners worldwide. So this trailer touched a special part of our collective soul.

Director Tim K. Smith’s new documentary, “Sex & Broadcasting,” tells the story of WFMU and devoted station manager Ken Freedman, who rallied his army of volunteers and listeners to carry WFMU through the most recent Great Recession. I sat down with Smith to talk about “Sex & Broadcasting” and why WFMU matters so much to so many people.

Check out the trailer for the VICE documentary on the New Jersey station. Looks good!
