#25- and #26-19 … Radio MAMA-FM in Uganda – parts 1 and 2

For the weeks leading up to World Feminist Radio Day (October 21), WINGS is sharing some of our most amazing shows about what feminist radio can be and do. These two programs – one from 2010 and one from 2017, document how and why the Uganda Media Women’s Association started a women’s community radio station, how it interacts with community, how it operates, its progression from rural to urban orientation, and what its guests and volunteers have to say about its effect.
