Tom Lodge used a new strategy against the British government to defy the law prohibiting broadcasting Rock & Roll to the teenagers in Great Britain. He, and his cohorts, worked in the English Channel aboard Radio Caroline, a converted steamship with a giant radio antenna attached. We discuss the forthcoming documentary about Radio Caroline: The Ship That Rocked the World.

Tom Lodge, one of the original DJs on Radio Caroline, a pirate radio ship operating just outside British waters during the 1960s, tells what it was really like in Pirate Radio in his book The Ship That Rocked The World: How Radio Caroline Defied the Establishment, Launched the British Invasion, and Made the Planet Safe for Rock and Roll
