Talking Head Transmitters (THT) is an experimental low - frequency radio, airing at 88.3 MHz FM. Artist Eugenia Vargas Pereira founded the project in 2001 to take advantage of radio's special capacity for transporting sound, its democratic link with the community and to engage artists in thought-provoking discussions about ideas, art, social, cultural issues, and to interact with the general public. As artists, what is our role in society? As individuals what is our civic duty? and, what is the role of the listener?
Odalis Valdivieso joined the project from 2005 until 2010.
In 2009, artist Amalia Caputo joined the team to contribute with the radio's expansion.
She is interested in the radio format as a tool to establish dialogues and building perspectives through the spoken voice, both live stream and podcasts, as an active platform to enrich and help integrate Miami´s
community.
