Ahoy there Landlubbers! Are you ready to tune in to another baddy chasing, wind generating, solar cooking edition of your Riseup! Radio? This month we’re up to no good at the offices of power company E-On, we learn more about the current situation in Zimbabwe and talk to Aran about how we are going to prepare ourselves for when the oil runs out. We also have live music by Joss and some fine poems from our DIY poets. We talk to Tom from NSPM about the recent Civil Liberties Conference and find out more about the Mule, a free newspaper which is to hit Nottingham’s streets later this month. Oh, and not forgetting some crackin’ tunes by Trickster, Wholesome Fish, PopX and Martin the Livewire.
Welcome to another superduper action packed edition of your Riseup Radio chock full of local news, tunes & interviews. This month we’ve got info about the upcoming week of action for autonomous spaces and what might be going off in Nottingham; we’ll be talking to Dan who’s just returned from the Antartic on a whale saving mission and and we’ve been talking to someone from Nottingham’s Defy ID group on whats happening locally on resisting the government’s proposed ID card system. Also an interview about legal advice for activists, a promotion about a recently setup cooperative dealing with activist equipment and a report from those who joined the blockade at Aldermaston Nuclear Weapons Establishment near Reading from Nottingham and Leicester. Oh, and a whole load of cracking good home grown music including Idiot Joy, 3am Association and Muteqx. Enjoy
In the April show we’re featuring a shortened version of an interview with Dan, who has just returned from a mission with the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society in Antartica. The aim of the mission was to stop the Japanese slaughter of whales in the Southern Ocean’s whale sanctuary and Sea Shepherd’s direct action tactics seriously disrupted the operations of the Japanese whaling fleet. Named Operation Migaloo, after the only known albino humpback in the world, this was Sea Shepherd’s fourth expedition to the remote southern waters off the coast of Antarctica and has been typically eventful.

Riseup! Radio has received this one off radio show, made by extreme noise nuts Alan Baddely and Michael Hardt, and we add this as an extra to our normal programming. The show comes with a warning; “This show contains some really loud music which you might find offensive. If so, please click away now”. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.. if you dare listen..
Here you have it, Riseup! Radio’s second show. The weather is more confused than ever before but spring is on its way… In this show: more news on local issues and concerns. We speak to campaigners fighting against the closure of the Victoria Baths in Sneinton Market and report from the trial against 11 activists who occupied part of the Ratcliffe On Soar powerstation last April. We also ask the question ‘what is direct action?’ and talk about 3 upcoming days of action around Climate Change. This time we have a 100% Nottingham music line up and play tracks from Koda Cola, Polymath and some stuff collected by the Saggy-Pants collective. If you have any good tunes, or make music yourself, get in touch.. Also, you can help out by reporting from events and recording gigs or sommat. Above all, download, listen and enjoy !
All the excitement! Our first show, cobbled together in the last fortnight… What a steep learning curve its been.. The January show contains some excellent stuff: Notts Indymedia audio features on local campaigns against the BNP, on how Jobseekers are now being subjected to lie-detector software and an interview with someone from the Sumac Skillshare. We’re also playing music from Satnam’s Tash, ccmixter.org and a couple of exclusive tracks from Nottingham’s infectious reggae band Moonbuggy. Download, listen, distribute and comment!
