On Friday, 19 November 2010, the Dissident Islanders got together over more beers, during the Red & Black club, to broadcast their 70th episode live and direct...

The show starts with an interview from two radio activists, Andre and Flo, who came together with many others to form Radio Freie Wendlands providing radio via internet and FM broadcast live and direct during the recent anti-nuclear anti-CASTOR actions in Germany. All their material is available to download, so if you speak German, you're in luck!

Rob came in for a chat about the upcoming exhibition above Freedom Bookshop on the Siege of Sidney Street - which will feature interviews with working class east enders, historians, anarchists, academics, children and police officers to tell the exciting story in a interactive non linear manner. The exhibition will open at the start of February 2011 -  a date for your diaries and something to check out. A Freedom Bookshop volunteer also let us know the upcoming exhibition schedule and that they're looking for submissions...

Next up on the show is a piece on the recent Fitwatch website shut-down, with a look at the relationships between corporate internet providers and state/police repression and surveillance. Thoughts and words on the subject came from Fitwatch Emily, IMCist@ Yossarian and London NoBorders. For more information on internet security, check out this PDF version of a hacktionlab booklet on that very topic!

This show's HOT TOPIC: students. Work-shy good for nothings? Or the best thing since the last best thing? Some opinions from random punters on the streets and other not so random people dragged down from the mainhall of LARC to discuss the upcoming mass walk-out on 24 November, as well as what the latest word is with the students...

Anja interviewed Tetsuo Kogawa on Japan's microradio history - discussing his history in radio (content and hardware), ideas on internet and pirate radio. Elucidating and contextualising words from a radio legend to alternative media enthusiasts and folks interested in free and radical broadcasting!

The newly formed Hackney Benefits Collective also came in to chat about what they'll be up to and future gigs you should check out and there's also a short interview on Bristol's answer to anarchist radio: Radio Kebele.

Tunes, banter, announcements and jingles pepper the show - with one of the island's favorites... DJ Delsa of total niceness and NSBradio fame, on the wheels of steel to end.

So check it - download the show and have a listen! [MP3 | OGG]
