So this week's theme is admittedly quite nebulous and possibly half-baked. I'm claiming that as a good thing though. In part because, well, it's happening anyway, and in part because I really do want this project to be plastic and conducive to spiraling, meandering sorts of discussions. This week's theme then, wanders around issues related to censorship, the political potential of media, and media consumption. It gained its germ from the debate surrounding the potential of the comcast//time warner cable merger to - apparently counterintuitively - have a positive effect on efforts to retain net neutrality.
NPR's coverage of that can be found here. Because of the place that I'm coming from, the debate around net neutrality often coalesces for me around the incredible platform that the internet has provided thus far to voices that are marginalized in other contexts. Here are a couple of articles relating to that, if you're so inclined.
For tonight's playlist (and more cool stuff, too), check out the WRMC website.
Next week, we (royal we? I?) will be looking at food. If there's anything you want to hear, just lemme know!
UPDATED: Because autostraddle talked about net neutrality. And autostraddle is the best.
