Every membership helps us grow as a presence, and every paid tier directly funds the station’s running costs: streaming, hosting, equipment, and the small overheads that keep a volunteer project alive. As we grow we’ll be able to expand in many directions – more guest mixes, fulltime staff, events, and a Community Realism News Team.
We publish an itemised breakdown of estimated station costs.

All members, free or paid, are a valued part of the CloudBuster community.
It is important to note that, by design, donating a higher amount does not grant higher access.

Alternative Music & Culture is the driving force for this station.
Creativity, Experimentation and Outsider Art come together to provide as many experiences as possible in one week of listening. A huge part of these diverse genres and cultural expressions is community and CloudBuster Radio wants to bolster community in every way.
CloudBuster Radio is a Community station powered by Community Realism.
A team of volunteers and contributors work to produce the music & culture radio you love, alongside our major task of reporting the reality of Community Action, Demonstrations of Solidarity , Calls for Community Aid and other Reports of Material Action across the country.
Community Realism is designed to normalise these concepts and actions as everyday occurrences, achievable by any and all of us.
We want Community Realism to become a new way of reporting productive and honest actions that really matter in society. As this normalising of Community Action grows, so too will people’s potential to work with each other on the things that matter.
These endeavours require an independent and driven team working through an independent and communal organisation. And for this we need your help.
