Test Flight

M_A Architecture Radio on KGAP 96.7 FM-LP launches with Issue 1: Test Flight—a first foray into a new space of publication that expands our formats with new equipment and new collaborators. Test Flight is a radically inclusive collection of as many submissions as we could air, all gathered from our first open call. From interviews to ASMR to field recordings and more, this cross-section of contemporary architectural topics plays at random across airwaves in Burbank, Hollywood, and the Pacific Palisades to encourage serendipitous intersections of content and context.

Here, on our website, we replicate this shuffling by presenting the content in alphabetical order—ordered, but also arbitrary. Read more from contributors here.

Test Flight is produced by the M_A Radio Working Group—Alyssa Lopez, Colton Straus, Dami Olufowoshe, Kate Yeh Chiu, Lena Pozdnyakova, Shoop Rozario, and Virginia Swenson—with Eldar Tagiyev, Kendall Mann, and Skyler Pia.
