Rádio Peão

Rádio Peão, which translates to "Grapevine Radio," is a term used in Brazil to describe informal communication networks, particularly among workers. It is not an actual radio station but rather a metaphor for the spread of rumors, news, and information in workplaces, especially in factories and industrial settings. The term became popular in the mid-20th century and reflects the grassroots way laborers shared updates and organized themselves. Over time, it has also been used to describe informal or unofficial channels of communication in broader contexts.
