The Cold War Broadcast That Gave East German Dissidents A Voice....
A story about Radio Glasnost, a show on a West German radio station broadcasting dissident material into East Germany. The material was recorded on cassettes, and smuggled out of East Germany at great personal risk, so that East Germans would have a voice against the regime. This took place in the final few years before the Berlin Wall was pulled down, and the dictatorships across eastern Europe started to collapse. Although not strictly a Pirate, the non censorship, open participation, non commercial, anti-authoritarian approach is in keeping with a rough set of Pirate Radio ideals.
