Radio Unnameable was a groundbreaking late-night radio program that aired on WBAI 99.5 FM in New York City. Hosted by Bob Fass, the show debuted in 1963 and ran for more than five decades — making it one of the longest-running programs in American radio history.
Each night, Fass opened the phone lines and let New York speak. Activists, artists, musicians, and everyday people shared their voices, their grievances, and their dreams on the airwaves. The show became a vital organizing tool for the Yippies, the anti-war movement, and the broader counterculture of the 1960s and 70s.
This documentary brings that history to life — through decades of archival audio, interviews with those who were there, and the story of a man who believed that giving people a voice could change the world.
From the 1968 occupation of Columbia University to the Yippee Festival of Life at the Democratic National Convention, Radio Unnameable was there — broadcasting live, connecting movements, and refusing to be silenced.
