From WZBC-FM's Sounds of Dissent...
In my five years at WZBC I've served as head producer for Sounds of Dissent, a weekly
news and political review reflecting community and civic affairs.
We report on local, national and international news stories, and
the links between local citizens' concerns and wider issues. Every
week several guests of national stature tell radio listeners their
perspective on current affairs. Topical recordings of local events
augment this coverage. Boston's plethora of visiting cultural,
journalistic and political speakers are difficult to keep up with,
given our minimal staff.
Mr. Manzelli generously provided many professional quality recordings
for radio broadcast--all pro bono. Often he was the only such
source of a recording. He's never received compensation for his
detailed and thorough work, which many listeners have valued,
as reflected by their appreciative phone calls following such
radio broadcasts.
Yours truly,
-John Grebe, WZBC-FM News Producer
Regarding a WMBR News Report:
"Military Families Speak
Out "
Mr. Manzelli reported on our forum and recorded it as well. I
believe he was the only Reporter to cover the event. He created
a professional and detailed news report which several of our members
heard on the radio. Mr. Manzelli ofered us copies of the recording,
now posted on our website. We are extremely appreciative of his
assistance in publicizing our event.
