In my opinion, radio is the most democratic means, the most democratic platform for organizing a horizontal discussion in society; it does not require the embellishments that television does. Some people argue that you can also be truthful on television. I agree, but to achieve a good picture, one must apply makeup—this alone reveals a lot about television. Radio, on the other hand, does not carry this burden. Paradoxically, although the audience does not see the people on radio, they can distinctly sense when someone is reading from a script or computer screen next to the microphone. Thus, radio by its very nature demands more sincerity and authenticity. Technically, it is also easier to create than television, which is another consideration. Moreover, it offers more opportunities for audience participation in programs; you just have to call, or sometimes you can simply write through a messenger, and your message will be read or reacted to on air.

I do not see citizen journalism as a separate branch of journalism. I do not actually wish to juxtapose professional journalism and citizens. There is good journalism and bad journalism. Sometimes in the so-called citizen journalism, you find brilliant examples of journalism, and the same in the so-called professional journalism — you find a lot of trash.

In spring of 2013, three different people came to me within three days and said that they could not work in their media outlets any longer for various reasons — being pressurized and being told to do what they did not want to do. They asked, "What shall we do?" I said, "But of course, we should found our own radio." So we started for several reasons. First, it is cheap — it is so cheap to found a radio. We actually took out something like 300 to 400 hryvnias, which was, of course, a pittance — something like 40 to 50 dollars at that time. Everyone took from their pockets. We bought our first recorders, bought our first legal software — because we wanted to be irreproachable — and we started the radio.
