For World Radio Day, we celebrate four vibrant community radio stations on four continents, tuning in to their sounds, their music, and their missions. Northern Malawi\u2019s Rumphi FM supports the Tumbuka tribe while giving young women a space to speak out against early marriage and for education.<\/p>\n

From Budapest, Radio Dikh broadcasts \u201cabout the Roma, but not just for the Roma,\u201d presenting Romany culture in its own distinctive voice.<\/p>\n

In Nunavik, Northern Quebec, Inuit radio beams Inuktitut music and talk to 14 remote villages, helping to keep an ancient language and threatened tradition alive.<\/p>\n

And in civil-war-torn Myanmar, brave journalists risk their lives to resist the military dictatorship with news and views sent out from portable transmitters, sometimes under fire.<\/p>\n

Presenter: Maria Margaronis
