Radio Free Penn State is a public affairs talk show that airs weeknights on The LION 90.7fm, the student radio station at the Pennsylvania State University. The show was founded by then-student Andy Nagypal in 1999 and focuses on topical issues relating to students at Penn State as well as concerns of the surrounding State College and Centre County communities.

According to the management of The LION 90.7fm, Radio Free Penn State has historically attracted the station's highest regular listenership behind its annual sports broadcasts of Penn State football^{[citation needed]}.

[edit] History

Radio Free Penn State was founded to provide student and community listeners with an engaging, informative and relevant source for discussion of topical concerns affecting both the State College community and larger Commonwealth.

The show discussion typically revolves around local news stories that are reported in The Daily Collegian (Penn State) and The Centre Daily Times.

Radio Free Penn State has made headlines in local media outlets for its historically hard-hitting discussion of topical political, social and student-centered issues.^[1] Andy Nagypal has led discussion with nationally prominent figures, including talk radio personality Mike Gallagher.^[2]
