As media outlets, both have been invaluable resources, contributing to the proliferation of information, communication, opinion and discussion within the UK radical political movements in which they are situated â and both have recently made public their decisions to close, stating a desire to move on to other political work.
The show features Dissident Island in conversation with members of the London Indymedia collective and editors of Shift Magazine in hopes of identifying some of their reasons for wrapping up and moving on. Weâll reflect on the state of independent media production in the current information age and discuss the challenges of nurturing cultures of constructive criticism and discussion in radical movements.
Music-wise we've got some uplifting interludes and DJ Jahpawa ending the show with some fabulous dubstep!

That Yossarian geezer was trying to make out he was involved from the late 1990's i.e. from the start, he did't get involved until two months after 9-11-2001
Well what do you expect
Who we are
What we do
What we made
The founding guys, and the founding gals.

Mind you yossarian did win an award for "Revolution" i.e. a Revolution Award in 2006. for the spoof footy site "England Allstars" in the Best Website category.
In the late 1990's when he wasn't involved with Indymedia he was recieving a "Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award", which is odd for an "anti" Capitalist.
Anyways each to their own and there's nowt so queer (not in the gay way) as folk .....
