Quality Time 1990 - '93
(as Executive Producer)Freeman: "I produced this talk program for several years. It featured the participation of Brandeis students and local school-age boys and girls on both sides of the transmitter. We exposed Fat Jack Burns' abuse of students in the Waltham schools, and I'd often get an escort to the Waltham border courtesy of the Brandeis Police. Maybe that was because of the threats on my life by a sleazy campus Republican or maybe it was something else entirely."

Dispatches From The Future 2004
(contributed actualities)
L. N. was one of the first DJs to mix early Freeman Z field recordings from the front lines of dissent into FM music programming. Meanwhile, Neita Michael was airing FZ's actualities on home-burned CDs over at WZBC. Michael played roots rock rasta reggae, the bible and freeman z.
Annoyed with wers, my connection L. N. did a neat late night Sand Man styled swan-song show. Traditionally this happens when a bitter DJ spites the boss by poisoning, or even cleansing, the air. He dedicated the suicide show to the guys at the Billerica House of Corrections and to yours truly, his humble field recordist from the outside world. He proceeded to rail against station's bad attitude and 'banal' programming, then, pointing out that "banal rhymes with anal ...which is where this station belongs...up my ass! ...WERS and Emerson 'U' ...Get over yourself!"
