When the English government fails to meet the radio needs of its people a group of “pirates” are ready to make their own. Broadcasting from boats, trees, or hidden studios, pirate radio stations would evade the authorities for decades as the inspectors sought to “bring the villains to justice.” Join Karbo and Ross as they tell the story of the DJ outlaws whose rebellion changed English radio forever.
