Uprising Radio with Sonali

Uprising Radio was founded in July 2003 by Sonali Kolhatkar, host and lead producer of Uprising. 

In
March of 2002, Sonali Kolhatkar, a 27 year old software engineer from Caltech,
with a background in Astrophysics, decided to make a career change. She tried
out for a position as host and producer for KPFK’s Morning Show, a two hour
daily public affairs program. Today she hosts and produces Uprising every
weekday morning. Sonali had long been an activist on the side, speaking out on
issues such as women’s rights and US foreign policy in Afghanistan and is one
of the founders and the co-director of Afghan Women’s Mission. She was a listener of
KPFK who took part in the activities of listeners to reclaim the Pacifica
network. Sonali has served as a staff representative on the KPFK Local Station
Board. She also served in 2004 on the Pacifica National Board of Directors as a
staff director. Her first book about US foreign policy in Afghanistan,
co-authored with her partner, James Ingalls, is entitled, “Bleeding Afghanistan: Washington, Warlords, and the
Propaganda of Silence,” (Seven Stories, Fall 2006). Sonali is a web
designer, artist, singer/song-writer, baker, and cook.
