Axis of Justice Radio Network
The Axis of Justice Radio Network is a monthly radio program that combines music, passion, politics and activism.
System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian and Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello weave together 60 minutes of “rebel music,” discussion and interviews about our world and the struggle for justice.
Each program features passionate dissident songs from artists like Public Enemy, Bob Marley, and the Clash, while Tom and Serj explain the political messages and motives behind the music, as well as their relationship to the political and social issues we face today. Shows also feature interviews with courageous activists fighting the power and making a difference.
The Axis of Justice Radio Network can be heard at 7pm, the first and third Friday of each month on KPFK in Los Angeles, 90.7FM, 98.7FM in Santa Barbara. You can also listen online at www.kpfk.org. The Axis of Justice Radio Network can also be heard on XM Satelite Radio, on their channel XM Live (channel XM26), the fourth Sunday of every month, 3PM PT/6PM ET, with encore presentations.

The Axis of Justice Radio Takeover was a special AOJ broadcast. On August 31, 2004, a major New York radio station gave Tom, Serj and Michael Moore 3 hours during the Republican National Convention protests to spread our rebel message far and wide. We took those 3 hours and have distilled it down to a one hour "best of" for show #19.
TOPIC:
George W. Bush and the Republican National Convention
GUEST: Michael Moore
MUSIC includes Joe Strummer, Chris Cornell, Maynard James Keenan, Refused and Neil Young.
Note: When first added to the site, this show was mistakenly labelled as "Show #19". It is in fact Show #20. We apologize for the mix-up.
