But don't just think of it as a radio station. Think of Shouting Fire as a communal flame to gather around, a virtual burn barrel where you can share stories, trade inspiration, and marshal resources. It's not exactly online radio, nor is it a podcast. It's
a nexus for ideas and engagement, an audio salon where you will be able to listen to an eclectic mix of programming or access the content you want on demand: from musical mayhem and live broadcasts to insightful interviews and calls to community action. Things
you won't hear anywhere else but which should be heard everywhere else.
But most important: this is a conversation, not a monologue. Because Shouting Fire is a home for community-created content. Join our team of backpack journalists, because what you want to cover is what we want to push out to the world. Philosophy, poetry,
and politics. Art, activism, and enlightenment. (And, of course, bomb-ass beats and glorious grooves…plus so much more it's up to YOU to dream up.) Shouting Fire exists to send out the intentional noise that engages and inspires you and your community.
We've been running off and on in beta mode for some time now, testing out programming while conspiring on even more, planning our own brand of cultural (r)evolution with a backbeat. But the financial realities of streaming and licensing fees and equipment
upgrades have become an impasse. The Internet might be the Great Democratizer, but it takes a little moolah to elevate our signal above the noise. If we network ourselves appropriately and collectivize our efforts, we can give that signal the boost it needs;
together, we can all speak more loudly than any one of us could alone.
In a world where image is king, where the icons of the age are corporate logos and celebrities rather than cultural warriors and agents of transformation, the power of sharing our stories and telling our tales is more important than ever. The myth-making
apparatus of modern culture has been hijacked by the mass media and the mainstream, who rule the airwaves and code our culture--with less than altruistic intentions. It's time to rewrite the code...
New stories need to be told, and new voices need to be heard. We hope you'll join us, not only through a contribution--but also by bringing your own noise to our creative cabal. For more information, get engaged at www.shoutingfire.com.
