Hollow Earth Radio

Hollow Earth Radio is a nonprofit, volunteer-led, freeform radio station based in Seattle, Washington. It was founded in 2006 with a mission to provide a platform for underrepresented music, sounds, and perspectives. The organization focuses on supporting local music communities in the Pacific Northwest, emphasizing underground music, found sound, field recordings, forgotten music, local musicians, bedroom recordings, and low-fi demos[1][2][3].

History

Hollow Earth Radio began as an internet radio station and transitioned to an FM broadcast after obtaining a Low Power FM (LPFM) license from the FCC in 2014. It started broadcasting on 104.9 FM in September 2017. The station has received recognition for its unique programming, including being named one of "100 essential stations and programmes" by The Wire in 2021 and voted "Best Seattle Radio Station" by Seattle Gay News that same year[4].

Programming

Hollow Earth Radio offers diverse programming that includes local music, found sound, paranormal encounters, and storytelling. Notable shows include Urban Mutant Radio, Radio Eclectus, and dead rat-titude, which features live performances and discussions on pop culture[4]. The station also hosts community events such as live shows and audio workshops for youth and adults, contributing to the cultural and artistic landscape of Seattle[2][3].

Mission

The organization's mission is to expose unknown talent and celebrate imperfections in music, encouraging emerging artists to participate. It aims to engage with marginalized communities and provide media arts skills to individuals[1][3].

Operations

Hollow Earth Radio operates as a non-commercial entity, relying on donations and community support to maintain its operations. It has recently moved its operations to a space in the Eastlake neighborhood of Seattle, known as The Black Lodge[1][4].

Cultural Impact

Hollow Earth Radio plays a significant role in preserving and promoting the cultural legacy of its surrounding neighborhoods, particularly in Seattle's Central District. The station's focus on diverse perspectives and underrepresented music helps foster a vibrant musical community in the Pacific Northwest[2][3].
