It’s obligatory for a blogger to occasionally have to apologize for a somewhat unscheduled absence. Here’s mine. I got married a little more than a week ago, and the commensurate hubub and family entertaining that happened wiped me out, and has meant that I’ve neglected the blog until the front page was blank (note to…

The nice folks at Odeo have chosen the mediageek radioshow as a featured podcast this week. I am grateful, and as this brings in more subscribers to the feed, I hope all the new listeners enjoy the program. As always, if you have any suggestions for things to cover or do a piece on the…

Odeo, the web-based popcasting app, portal and site, now has its beta open to the public to help you create, download and listen to podcasts.

My pal John from DIYmedia will be my guest to talk about recent activity in unlicensed micropower radio, including the shutdowns of radio free brattleboro and Berkeley Liberation Radio.

Rabble sent me one a number of…

Last night I assembled and stapled mediageek zine #3, just in time to haul it out to the AMC today. I’m pretty happy with it, and it features the new mediageek logo, that you can see up on top of the homepage. Articles include an analysis of the Christian translator scandal by John Anderson, a…

On this Friday’s mediageek radioshow, I’ll be talking to Jason Scott of Textfiles.com, whose recently completed BBS Documentary is now shipping. We’ll talk about how he put this 3-DVD project together, and why he chose to release the DVDs without copy protection and under a Creative Commons share-alike license. The radioshow airs Fridays at 5:30…

I’m glad to announce that the mediageek radioshow has now gone global, with Flirt FM 105.6 in Galway, Ireland picking up the show to air during its Kaleidoscope slot on Wednesdays from 12:30 – 13:00. My friend and fellow ICR student Andrew O’Baoill is a founder and alumnus of the station, and it appears that…

As you may know, this past weekend I was in St. Louis at the 2nd National Conference on Media Reform. I’ve got a lot of audio and thoughts, and will post much of it here in the coming days (and at the BeTheMediaBlog, which has lots of other people’s thoughts, too). Drew and I called…
