The Lightning Strike Radio isn't backed by corporations, political PACs, or advertisers with agendas. It's powered by you.
It's powered by you — the listeners who believe Chicago deserves a show that speaks truth, amplifies community voices, and holds power accountable. Every Sunday morning, we bring unfiltered conversation to the airwaves because independent media matters.
No corporate sponsors, no political PACs, no advertisers with agendas. The show answers to its listeners and nobody else.
We take on the establishment, ask the questions mainstream radio avoids, and give the mic to the people who never get heard.
Two hours of live, unscripted conversation every Sunday morning, with real callers from real Chicago neighborhoods.
Mohammed Faheem is the driving force behind The Lightning Strike Radio — a grassroots broadcaster, community advocate, and organizer who created TLS Radio to give everyday people a platform on the public airwaves. With a deep commitment to civic engagement and independent media, Mohammed brings together diverse voices every Sunday morning to discuss the issues that matter most to Chicago and beyond.
