About Naptown People’s Radio
Naptown People’s Radio covers the pressing issues facing our people in Indianapolis from the perspective of the oppressed, not our oppressors. We spotlight stories that go untold by the dominant media and uplift the voices of workers, organizers, artists, and all people changing our city on a daily basis.
Hosted by working-class organizers Dani Abdullah and Derek Ford, at Naptown People’s Radio, we don’t just talk about the news; we make it happen.
Regular segments include Naptown Breakdown, Circle City Shout Outs, and Dispatches from Behind the Wire by New Afrikan Political Prisoner Shaka A. Shakur.
Brought to you by PSL Indianapolis from our studio in the Indianapolis Liberation Center.
Logo Competition!
As we approach the conclusion of our second season and celebrate our 70th episode, we want to give our listeners and supporters the opportunity to help shape the next chapter of Naptown People’s Radio. So, we’re holding a comradely competition to design our official podcast logo!
Find out more here and be sure to get your submission in by Friday, November 13!
