Communication Mixdown

Monday 6:00pm to 6:30pm

This show casts a critical eye on the myriad ways in which we communicate with each other in our increasingly interconnected, multi-media platform world. Each week we mix down the who, the what, the where, and the how of particular communication events, messages, trends and technologies, and then consider: what impacts and what consequences?

About Communication Mixdown

We ask exactly whose voices are being heard in the cacophony of commentators, pundits, scholars, practitioners, activists and educators and explore what ‘new media’ means in creating or holding back social and political change.

Communication Mixdown emphasizes inclusiveness and diversity, giving space to progressive opinion and analysis that can get side-lined, swamped or entirely ignored by mainstream media reportage and commentary. We tackle the ‘big picture’ issues, investigating how communication could be more inclusive and diverse across a whole range of communication/media industries.

Communication Mixdown values alternative voices, and we look at how social media is connecting a vast range of ordinary people, cutting across the social parameters of class, gender, race, ethnicity, age, and nation. This process of ‘democratization’ of communication and media is a central feature of the show.

Subscriber Drive 2019 is coming!

29th January 2019

The community of passionate members that founded 3CR made some tough decisions. They committed themselves and a growing community of listeners to back their vision of owning our station, and remaining independent of government or corporate influence. They did this by fundraising brick by brick, with working bees, door knocking and on-air drives and it is with the surety of this ownership that 3CR survives today. We are evolving and growing with the challenges of our times, driven by the energy, politics and passion of our volunteers and members who turn up and do the work - week in, week out. And we need your commitment to keep us on air. Show your support during Subscriber Drive 11-17 February 2019. Feed Radical Radio - subscribe now.
