the station operator, Lavell Johnson. For just a few seconds, it seemed
that Agent Grey was beginning to "get it"...

Mbanna Kantako is usually a very quiet man who doesn't make a lot of public
appearances. These recordings are from a rare presentation he made at
the University of Illinois-Springfield campus on February 19, 1998. During
this 90-minute talk, Kantako chronicles the more than a decade of micropower
broadcasting he's been doing, and why it's necessary that more people
take to the airwaves. Courtesy of Radio4All.net.
