As múltiplas emissoras de Robson César: um depoimento sobre as rádios livres sorocabanas

Abstract

Free radios are clandestine vehicles of communication that freely reverberate information through electromagnetic space. In particular, these broadcasters create discourses far from the interests of the telecommunications monopoly. Such initiatives experimented democratic forms of management, by encouraging individuals with no media experience to operate a radio station. In Sorocaba/SP, this popular action gained national and international prominence. This statement gains relevance when verifying that, in 1982, there were more than 100 free radio stations operating in the city. In this interview, Robson César tells about how his love for radio made him embark on the communicational possibilities, offered by these information vehicles. The purpose of this activity is to complement academic records on the subject. The interview was conducted in Sorocaba, on April 24, 2021, using semi structured questions.
