Rustbelt Radio is the Pittsburgh Independent Media Center's weekly radio program which introduces itself as "news from the grassroots, news overlooked by the corporate media".^[1]^[2]

Production[edit]

Rustbelt Radio is produced by a volunteer collective working primarily in the Pittsburgh area. Volunteers conduct interviews and record events. They then edit the audio using Audacity, a free and open-source digital audio editor. The show is organized each week using a wiki in a collaborative process. The show is produced, recorded and aired live on Monday evenings from the studios of WRCT-FM.
