Last night the WEFT Programming Committee approved the mediageek radio show to air Fridays at 5:30 PM on the station, at 90.1 FM in Champaign, IL. The station doesn’t netcast, but I’ve been trying hard to upload the shows to this site. That said, given my schedule it will take as long as a week to get them up in some cases.
With the radio show I’m hoping to offer something different but complimentary to what I do here on mediageek. The biggest difference is the ability to offer interviews and commentary from indy mediamakers other than myself, and to let them speak in their own words. The beginning of the mediageek radio show will signal the end of Radio Free Conscience, which was the radio program I begain in Sept. 1996. The roots of mediageek.org begin with a simple website I put on line for RFC, which then grew in scope and content. Retiring RFC is step in further integrating this website with “old media,” allowing the news and ideas about indy media to reach a larger audience, importantly including folks who don’t care to use the Internet to get their news.
I hope you’ll give the show a listen on the air or on-line. I welcome any comments or feedback.
