Favoriting The Media Squat with Douglas Rushkoff: Playlist from September 7, 2009 Favoriting

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.

Ongoing forums with host, guests, and listeners take place at http://www.mediasquat.net.

It was 40 feet by 10 feet. (Bigger than most NY apartments :-)

I would LOVE to do that again on the Hudson.

Charles-A.:

It should be simple.

Wow, heavy topic.
  6:45pm

Who else but the rich could afford it?

Its 1:N thinking again in an N:M world.
  6:49pm

Pedigree tells a lot, but its not all good.
