Basham Radio on AM 1230 KLAV, the "Talk of Las Vegas"

Doug Basham takes a powerful, "no holds barred" approach to Talk Radio by actually taking on Talk Radio. Basham is not happy with the levels this once grand medium of information and truth has allowed itself to be lowered to, all in the name of blind partisanship disguised as patriotism, and he challenges his listeners and callers to examine their true motives, biases and agendas.

mediageek

A medigeek is someone who, like a computer geek, delves into the inner working of media both to understand it and to hack it. A mediageek doesn't accept the rules and restrictions of the mainstream media, circumventing and jamming them by doing it him or herself. This site will serve as a guide for mediageeks, looking at how the media works, both systemically--the political economy of the mainstream, indpendent and underground media--and practically--how you can put media making tools to work. I also hope that the site can be inspiration and encouragement to become a mediageek, creating, hacking and jamming the media yourself.
