Catching Up with the Radioshow: The Yes Men Spoof Halliburton, Bringing Transmitters to Central America, Musicians Support Internet Freedom

If you don’t normally listen to the mediageek radioshow, you should consider checking out the last two programs. Yesterday my guests were Bill Taylor and Adrienne Bauer from the Primary Communications Project, talking about their plans to bring a 1 kilowatt AM radio transmitter to the Lenca people of Honduras. I also played part of a conference call on network neutrality with Moby and Rep. Ed Markey, where I actually got in a few questions.

The previous Friday my guest was Andy Bichlbaum from the Yes Men, discussing their prank at Halliburton’s expense, demonstrating the Survivaball solution to global warming to the Lexis-Nexis Catastrophic Loss conference.

The mediageek radioshow is a weekly half-hour dedicated to grassroots and independent media, while also critically examining our media environment. The program originates Fridays at 5:30 PM on Community Radio WEFT 90.1 FM in Champaign, IL, and airs on nine other stations around North America. The program is available for download and listening every weekend. Or you can automate things by subscribing to the podcast feed.
