Circuits<p>I cannot begin to tell you how much it infuriates me when educators -- people who claim to enjoy working with young people and who should be setting good examples as thoughtful and responsible leaders -- can be such brazen hacks. Literally locking students out of their own radio station which they are so passionate about, changing the programming format without their input, and then calling the fucking COPS to escort them out of the building demonstrates shockingly poor leadership at Cleveland State University.</p><p>As a parent, an educator, and and a 35 year veteran of community radio, I would NEVER encourage anyone to attend CSU after a debacle like this. The people who engineered this deal at both CSU and Ideastream should all be fired for being so inept.</p><p><a href="https://clevelandstater.com/news/news/csu-shuts-down-student-led-wcsb-hands-control-ideastream" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">clevelandstater.com/news/news/</span><span class="invisible">csu-shuts-down-student-led-wcsb-hands-control-ideastream</span></a></p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/WCSB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WCSB</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CommunityRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityRadio</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/FreeformRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeformRadio</span></a></p>

Circuits<p>Part of my work in community radio is training young people on both studio tech skills and programming philosophy. Teaching the tech part is easy, even for people who've never used an audio console before. In my experience, 45 minutes of hands-on guidance in an off-air setting gets most people the baseline ability needed to mix multiple audio sources for a two or three hour show.</p><p>Regarding programming philosophy, I'm a staunch evangelist for freeform radio, which puts the host completely in charge of what gets played. But implied within that ideology is an assumption that said host is going to be a rigorous seeker of sounds from across the spectrum(s) of genre, era, and format, so their programming will evolve over time. At its core, I believe freeform radio is about taking risks that would almost certainly upset the toothpaste commercial execs and focus group ding-dongs whose money has an outsized influence on the for-profit broadcast spectrum.</p><p>“Teaching” freeform — inasmuch as something so nebulous can be “taught” — is forever challenging because year over year, young people are arriving with a steadfast belief that their shows must be grounded in some thematic "idea" which can be articulated in language more befitting an academic thesis. (“This show aims to reveal the connection between early 1980s Detroit techno with the modern synthwave phenomenon.") I can only assume that this is the result of kids who grew up with no radio role models -- Lacking a Steve Post / Bob Fass / Alison Steele-type, or even a snarky, hometown college radio DJ to light up their imaginations, radio is an almost entirely alien concept to most college students by the time they land in my office. Algorithms and paid tastemakers have rushed in to fill the void such icons once occupied.</p><p>Apart from a subatomically-focused program sounding A) exhausting to maintain on a week-to-week basis, and B) no fucking fun at all, I find it worrisome that in an environment where programmers are completely unshackled from the rigid rules that dominate most areas of culture, the FIRST inclination many of them have is to chain their freedom to a block of concrete, and then chuck it in the river.</p><p>I get that people do community radio for a million different reasons, but audiences with one-dimensional interests are already very well taken care of by podcasts, satellite radio, and Spotify shitfluencers -- freeform stations are some of the last outlets where mixing things up in a creative and compelling way is not only allowed, but encouraged.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/communityradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>communityradio</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/freeformradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freeformradio</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/collegeradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>collegeradio</span></a></p>

Cranky Clown

Hey everyone! Last week I was doxxed and fired from my volunteer Community Radio DJ gig for shitposting about you-know-who on FB.

My great radio show, The Aetherium, now into its second year, continues to be broadcast live every Thursday morning 6-8 Mountain Time right here: Mixcloud.com/live/JustSomeClown

Later each Thursday or Friday, I’ll upload each episode here: Mixcloud.com/JustSomeClown

It’s a two-hour show intended to help you wake up and get your morning off to a good start.

I play instrumental electronic and electronic-tinged music including ambient, neo-classical, cinematic, jazz/jazzy, classic electronica, modern genres such as dub, world bass, liquid DnB and more.

I only play tracks I own, because I support artists. No streaming.

This week’s exciting one-year-anniversary episode includes another great track from @etherdiver and a special 45-minute World Bass mix starting at 7 am.

I accept tips on the broadcast, and any proceeds will go to the cost for the show and music, split with my favorite local orgs like Boise Mutual Aid and our local legal collective.

It’s my favorite way to wake up on Thursdays, and I hope you’ll agree!
