- **Published:** 2013-07-18

James Richard is named Executive Producer for Episode 531 following a $233.33 donation. The hosts discuss a listener's suggestion regarding Low Power FM (LPFM) radio applications opening in October 2013. They dismiss the LPFM window as a "scam" and a "farce," noting that the legal, survey, and equipment costs can exceed $50,000 for a very limited broadcast radius, effectively setting up community broadcasters for failure.

The FCC's opening of applications for 1,000 new low-power FM (LPFM) stations is discussed as an opportunity for non-profits to broadcast independent content. This is contrasted with the obituary of Austin Goodrich, a former CBS News reporter who was revealed to be a career CIA officer, raising questions about modern intelligence infiltration of the press.
