'The Media Squat is freeform, bottom-up, open source radio looking towards similarly open source, bottom-up solutions to some of the problems engendered by our relentlessly top-down society. Each show will initiate a series of discussions, which will themselves comprise part of an expanding wiki of resources, support material, and community-generated content. This isn't pure '60s or Whole Earth radicalism and self-sufficiency (though it's certainly related) but a 21st Century, cyberpunk reclamation of all technologies and social contracts as essentially open source, up for discussion, and open to modification. It's an application of the hacker ethic and net collectivism to everything, done in the spirit of fun and adventure.'
Hosted by media theorist Douglas Rushkoff, I recommend checking out recent episodes that include interviews with R.U. Sirius, Steven Johnson, Xeni Jardin and Aaron Naparstek. Literally hours of fascinating discussion for those who like their radio shows with purpose. (The Media Squat podcast feed).
