Soundwalkers from Raquel Castro on Vimeo.
This film by Raquel Castro includes interviews with free103point9 transmission artists Michelle Nagai and Tom Roe, as well as Executive Director Galen Joseph-Hunter, and many other terrific sound artists. The description:

There are some fundamental principles regarding the construction of an acoustically healthy society, one where we can exist within the sounds of life. Respect towards voice and words, sonic awareness, the awakening of the sense of hearing. To preserve the sounds that tend to fade out, while remaining open to the sounds that spring out of each technological stride. To build an aural idiom that interprets its own symbolism. To accept the silence, enforcing it in the due moments. And, above all else, to listen.
