Here at KZSM.org, we identify ourselves as “true community radio” not only because we present programming for the community, according to our mission to educate, engage, enlighten, and entertain, but also because we feature voices from the community—radio hosts and guests from San Marcos and beyond.
“Revolving Door,” Sundays 6-8 p.m., features music by local artists, often recorded but sometimes live, especially now as we cautiously return to the studio. Local bands send their work to [email protected], and host Rob Roark plays selections and often invites artists for interviews. Mark Moniz, host of “Metal Mark Live,” Thursdays 10 p.m.-midnight, also seeks out input from local groups. CDs arrive at our studio addressed to “The Godson of Heavy Metal,” destined for play on Moniz’s show.
At KZSM.org, the voice of the community talks as well as sings. Fridays from 7-8 p.m. the versatile Roark extends his vision of the true purpose of community radio—"to give the voices to people,” by hosting “We the People,” along with cohost Quad-D. They interview local elected officials, candidates for office, neighborhood activists, and others who care about the life of our community.
