Hotbox Radio is a weekly, one-hour programme dedicated to discussing topics relevant to alternative culture audiences. We look at the world through three different lenses reflecting changes to the North American socio-political environment over the last four decades, notably:
- Increased surveillance and reduced civil liberties via the ultimately-flawed War on Drugs
- Limited privacy and anonymity due to advanced technology
- Cultural homogeneity regardless of increasing racial integration and the reality of multiculturalism
There are many ways to look at the world and we take the view that the mainstream paradigm is only one such way. There is a multitude of critical viewpoints that need to be evaluated and discussed, not just for the sake of objectivity but simply because unique and radical viewpoints are utterly necessary if we wish to advance beyond the very evident death of the imagination visible in everything from drug to environmental policy.
Hotbox Radio is produced and hosted by Ændrew Rininsland, Managing Editor of Hotbox Magazine, and distributed through the Hotbox Network and CJSW 90.9 FM Calgary.
