Once upon a time, before our lives went fully digital, radio entertained, informed and dictated what was cool through theater of the mind - and with that Houston's 101 KLOL played a big role in the lives of rock radio listeners. The forthcoming documentary "Runaway Radio" focuses on the legendary outfit - starting in 1970 as a progressive rock station, where DJs played whatever they wanted, to how it evolved into one of several wild Album Oriented Rock (AOR) stations across the country, where on-air personalities were sometimes bigger than the music itself. In the film acclaimed musicians such as Lyle Lovett, ZZ Top's Dusty Hill, Melissa Etheridge and Sammy Hagar along with top radio DJs from across the US reflect on how the medium changed their lives and the lives of devoted listeners. Yet in the end, changes and pressures from Washington, the music industry and Silicon Valley led to the station's, and much of the format's, demise in the 2000s.

At the end of the Second World War the United States government (under Operation Paperclip) extracted Nazi scientists from Germany. Very quickly top secret scientific testing started to happen all across America. Project MK ULTRA was formed by the CIA. The US government proceeded to drug, rape, torture, and murder innocent citizens on a massive scale that spanned decades. Chemicals, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, and DEATH were just a means to their end game. Once discovered by the public the project was supposedly closed down, but not before the CIA destroyed thousands of documents to hide their illegal activity.

The Hill in St. Louis, Missouri is an Italian American neighborhood with deep historical roots. In the late 1800s, Italians immigrated to the area to work in the many clay mines. Here they quickly took over the area and began to make it their own, building their own church, starting their own businesses, and creating a self-sufficient "city within a city." Home to baseball royalty, Yogi Berra and Joe Garagiola, The Hill was a hotbed for incredible athletic talent and had multiple players from the 1950 US Soccer Team that defeated England in what is referred to as the biggest upset in World Cup History. This "Little Italy" neighborhood is unique for multiple reasons, but the biggest being for the mere fact that it still exists and is prosperous to this day, mixing residential homes with businesses of all sorts, including its world-famous restaurants. "America's Last Little Italy: The Hill," tells the story of this enduring neighborhood by looking at the past, present, and future.
