NeuFutur puts in the first review for mediageek zine #2. I believe I traded zines with one of the guys behind the NeuFutur zine at the Allied Media Conference last June.

The mediageek radioshow archive is now up to date, including last Friday’s program — so download away! I want to point out that I am experimenting with using the Internet Archive’s FreeCache to help speed up downloading the recent broadcast quality files and some of the more popular programs, like Amy Goodman’s talk from April.…

On today’s mediageek radioshow we’ll air an interview with Sunfrog, a member of the editorial collective at Fifth Estate, a quarterly magazine about anarchist thought and practice. The mediageek radioshow airs Fridays at 5:30 PM on community radio WEFT FM 90.1 in Champaign, IL. The shows are archived here after airing. I’m quite behind in…

Finally updated the basic template for the main page here, along with a new logo, taken from the cover of the new mediageek zine #2 (which now has its own page).

On today’s mediageek radioshow, which airs 5:30 PM on WEFT 90.1 FM Champaign, IL, my friend John Anderson from DIYmedia.net will be on to discuss recent happenings in the micropower radio world — especially some of the legal strategies being employed by stations actively challenging the FCC in court. We’ll be taking calls and e-mails…

But now that it’s gone pay, and especially increased the license fee for having multiple users on a shared server, I’m contemplating a…

Last Friday’s radioshow was a lot of fun. First, because Bob and V-Man are articulate, true independent media die-hards and both of them do some great radio on FRSC. Second, because it was the mediageek radioshow’s first joint simulcast — Bob and V-Man were in the studio at Freak Radio broadcasting their end of the…

I was away for a week in Toronto, which is a very cool town, and while I was gone the sysadmin for the mediageek’s server upgraded perl and other things, which kind of broke Moveable Type in interesting ways for a few days more — hence the lack of postings. Thanks to very responsive help…

Last Friday’s radioshow featuring an interview with Caroline Hatch of San Francisco Liberation Radio is now on-line at the radioshow page, in glorious mp3 and ogg vorbis.
