101 featuring Shawn Campbell of CHIRP

101 is a monthly lecture series organized by Homeroom in partnership with youmethemeverybody (a Chicago arts and music podcast). Each event features a different speaker who, in open dialogue with the audience, will give a short talk about not just what they do, but how and why they do it. Occasionally, 101 speakers also discuss other arts and culture makers that inspire and influence them. 101 takes place the second Monday of each month at the Hungry Brain (2319 W. Belmont) from February through May.

Shawn Campbell, President and founder of Chicago Independent Radio Project (CHIRP), will give a short talk about the newly launched web streaming radio station. Making “air” waves with more then just its live DJ sets and diverse musical output, Campbell will explain what being an independent station means to the organization, entailing everything from CHIRP’s legislative activism to their community building and beyond.

A long time champion of all things radio, Shawn Campbell has worked as a media professional for over a decade, formerly as a producer at Chicago Public Radio and a program director at WLUW
