Since the Vietnam War, being a national voice of opposition has helped Pacifica Radio to expand its reach and revenues. Today it's harder to stand out. Still, you might expect that the threat of fascism would bring people together. Think again. Struggling in an increasingly diverse, digitally-driven world, Pacifica stations have lost both funding and listeners in recent years. But the difficulties began much earlier. Through much of its history, the original listener-supported network has been at war with itself, while sometimes hovering at the edge of insolvency.

Greg Guma became CEO and Executive Director of the Pacifica Foundation in 2006, after years of struggle that resulted in a new, more democratic structure. And although he presided over a brief era of stability, he could not alter the basic dynamics. This brief, personal and revealing book describes what he saw and experienced. Pacifica's original vision was to nurture an open exchange of ideas that could help people come to know each other as human beings, dialogue that demonstrated the possibility of peace in practice. But as Guma explains, it has gradually evolved into something else: a source of "alternative" news and viewpoints, a platform for underserved constituencies, and, unfortunately, the site of many bitter struggles over race, class and democracy. In Planet Pacifica, he takes a fresh look at how it happened and what it has cost.
