Pacifica Radio is an American network of six independently operated, non-commercial, listener-supported radio stations known for its progressive/liberal political orientation. Launched in 1949 with service in Berkeley, California, it is the world's oldest listener-funded radio network.
It is also a program service supplying over 100 affiliated stations with various programs, primarily news and public affairs. The first public radio network in the United States, it is operated by the Pacifica Foundation, a non-profit corporation with national headquarters adjoining station KPFA in Berkeley. Programs such as Democracy Now! and Free Speech Radio News have been some of its most popular productions.
The Pacifica Radio Archives, housed at station KPFK in Los Angeles, is the oldest public radio archive in the U.S., documenting more than five decades of grassroots political, cultural, and performing arts history. The archive includes original recordings of interviews with John Coltrane, James Baldwin, Lorraine Hansberry, and Langston Hughes, among many others.
The Chrysler Pacifica nameplate was used by Chrysler for a variety of vehicles. It was first used on a luxury minivan concept vehicle in 1999. Then from 2004 to 2008 it was used on a mid-size crossover. And now it is being used on the 2017 to present minivan.

Pacifica may refer to:
Radio is the use of radio waves is to carry information, such as sound, by systematically modulating some property of electromagnetic energy waves transmitted through space, such as their amplitude, frequency, phase, or pulse width. When radio waves strike an electrical conductor, the oscillating fields induce an alternating current in the conductor. The information in the waves can be extracted and transformed back into its original form.
Radio systems need a transmitter to modulate (change) some property of the energy produced to impress a signal on it, for example using amplitude modulation or angle modulation (which can be frequency modulation or phase modulation). Radio systems also need an antenna to convert electric currents into radio waves, and vice versa. An antenna can be used for both transmitting and receiving. The electrical resonance of tuned circuits in radios allow individual stations to be selected. The electromagnetic wave is intercepted by a tuned receiving antenna. A radio receiver receives its input from an antenna and converts it into a form usable for the consumer, such as sound, pictures, digital data, measurement values, navigational positions, etc. Radio frequencies occupy the range from a 3 kHz to 300 GHz, although commercially important uses of radio use only a small part of this spectrum.
While NPR and PBS have gone to corporate underwriting, Amy Goodman's network has remained true. Question: Are there viable alternative models to corporate media. Amy Goodman: I think we have an example in this country, Pacifica Radio, where I originally came out of. You know, Pacifica was founded in 1949 in Berkley, California by a war resistor named Lou Hill. He came out of the detention camps, and he said, "There has to be a media outlet that is not run by corporations that profit from war, that is not run by corporations. As George Gerbner, founder of the Cultural Environment Movement, former Dean at the Annenberg School Communications University of Pennsylvania, said, "Not run by corporations that have nothing to tell and everything to sell, that are raising our children today."

Pacifica Radio at 60: KPFA Remains a Sanctuary of Dissent Six Decades After Its Founding Today marks the sixtieth anniversary of Pacifica Radio. On April 15th, 1949 at 3:00 p.m., a charismatic conscientious objector named Lewis Hill sat before a microphone and said, This is KPFA Berkeley. With that, KPFA went on the air, and the first listener-supported radio station in the United States was born. Pacifica Radio is the oldest independent media network in the United States, and its sixtieth birthday comes as a deepening crisis engulfs mainstream media.

Brother Anthony Sloan is interviewed on the (Pacifica Radio) Program "Labbrish" hosted by Habte Selassie. It is part 2 of the interview where theBrother talks about white supremacy, banking, the economy and other things.
"Talk by ethnobotanist, ecologist, and author Terence McKenna. He asks the fundamental question concerning natural hallucinogens: is it an accident of nature that certain plants and mushrooms can alter human awareness in profound ways. He argues that man and hallucinogenic plants and mushrooms have co-evolved. These botanicals provid a way for people to experience their spiritual nature, and throughout history have been used by shamans whose function is to enter altered states in order to perceive the spiritual causes behind ordinary reality." Recorded at Masonic Temple, Van Nuys, California, Sept. 8, 1991 Copyright Pacifica Radio Archives
