Razom has worked with Hromadske Radio to make contacts in the US and in Europe to create new programming and to apply for grants, as well as to raise money directly for the group.
Hromadske Radio started as a podcast in the summer of 2013; the events of Maidan accelerated its growth as journalists looked to a place where they could cover the events free of commercial and governmental interest. Today, the station has a variety of programs including several that are geared to audiences in the Donbas. You can listen to their programs online at hromadske.radio. You will hear from people with a wide variety of views. You might not agree with what everyone has to say, but you will hear different points of view. Hromadske Radio brings a variety of guests to their studios. They also collaborate with various organizations to make programs.
