In its own words:
"A program about wealth, power, and peoples' resistance to the corporate world order."

Unwelcome Guests is a radio show started by Lyn Gerry, a former Pacifica radio presenter disillusioned by the influence of corporate money over the station's output. Fortnightly shows last 2 hours and typically include a variety of speakers, often academics, whistleblowers, authors and/or activists on a range of topics lacking from commercially-controlled media.

History

The show was originally distributed at Radio4All.net, a site run by the show's producer, Lyn Gerry. When Robin Upton took over the show in 2010, he created a bespoke website at http://www.UnwelcomeGuests.net.
