Favoriting The Media Squat with Douglas Rushkoff: Playlist from September 14, 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.

Douglas, you're dreaming if you think that some people who are into "e-merce" (Buzz-word alert :-) are actually going to drag their heads out of their butts.

Charles-A.:

Traditional (non-ad-supported media) are "real people" doing "real things" and they don't have to worry about the internet.
  6:12pm
Charles-A.:

The e-merce people are stuck because the ad-supported, scarce resource model which relies on there being a space where they can operate, well they're screwed.
