Another Nightlife

Fresh Fruit: 35 Years of Queer Radio chronicles the history of the nation's longest running weekly LGBT radio show. Fresh Fruit first aired on Twin Cities community radio station KFAI, on May 11, 1978, and has been broadcasting ever since. This audio documentary includes an overview of Fresh Fruit from 1978-2013, as well as preparations made in 1977 by the original collective--a group of activists living in a queer hippy commune in Minneapolis.
