Montez Press Radio

Montez Press Radio (also known as MPR) is a New York-based internet radio station, performance space, and non-profit arts organization. The platform was founded in 2018 by Montez Press founder Anna Clark, Stacy Skolnik, and Thomas Laprade. Montez Press Radio is directly inspired by pirate radio, public-access television, and DIY culture more broadly. In a profile for The New York Times, writer Ezra Marcus wrote that that station has "penetrating reach into the underground dimensions of the city’s art, literature, nightlife and music scenes." ^[1] It is located in (and is occasionally associated with) Lower Manhattan's Dimes Square "microneighborhood."
