#103 From Stunts to Studios|| How Community Media Gives Everyone a Voice ⁨@ScottHammond⁩
We sit down with Christina Jeffers, Executive Director of Access Humboldt, to explore why community media matters now more than ever. Access Humboldt operates as a PEG station (Public, Education, Government)—broadcasting unedited civic meetings, amplifying citizen creators, and giving everyday people access to radio and television tools.

Christina’s journey is anything but typical: from theater and stunt acting in Los Angeles, to a decade in emergency rooms, to creative leadership in Sacramento—now guiding a small but mighty team committed to transparency, free expression, and local storytelling.

We unpack:

What Access Humboldt actually does (five cable channels, low-power FM radio, civic coverage)

Why PEG funding is shrinking as broadband replaces cable

How local media supports education, democracy, and creative opportunity

Programs like Boltfest, a year-round short-film incubator turning scripts into red-carpet premieres

Why self-expression and belonging are antidotes to isolation

This conversation is for anyone who cares about open government, rural access, creative freedom, or seeing real neighbors on screen instead of hot-take headlines.
