Whole Wheat Radio was a not-for-profit, listener-driven online community radio station[4] from Talkeetna, Alaska.[5] It was centered around independent music, and aired 24 hours a day.[6]

The station pioneered several social and technical webcast feats, including the use of wiki software to collaboratively catalogue music,[7][8] interactive house concerts where listeners could comment and tip the artists,[9] electronic DJs (dubbed "EJs"), listener phonegrams,[10] and its recorded shows were among the first available podcasts.[11][12]

After eight years of uninterrupted broadcast, the station closed on October 20, 2010.[2]
