Blatant Propaganda Radio
Alternative Music Radio Shows/Programs/Podcasts
Once upon a time the Blatant Propaganda DJs hosted numerous radioshows, adding up to around 500-to-600 programs, spanning several decades. Most shows were aired on Community Radio Station 2XX 98.3 FM Australia. These shows included:
"S.I.N.G.E.D."
The title refers to the genres of: Synth-wave-pop-punk-rock - (electro) Industrial - (power) Noise - Gothic - Elektro/EBM/Electronica - Darkwave . . . It was pronounced singe-d as in meaning "lightly burnt" ;)
The show ran from 2001 to the end of 2015. It originally aired on Saturday nights at 7-8pm. From around 2008 it was broadcast on Wednesday nights from 1030-1130pm. During that time the show featured numerous DJs. DJ
Robot Citizen
co-founded the program and hosted around 130-150 programmes during the years 2001-2006 and 2010-2015. Several dozen playlists for this

"BEATSIDE"
This was an electronic dance music show that initially aired from 7-9pm on Saturday nights; from 2001 it ran from 7-8pm. DJ Robot - then known as
DJ Citizen
-
hosted the program once or twice per month over 6 years (1998-2004); adding up to around 100 shows.
Hosting these programs and "Local Anaesthetic" led to the production of the "ELECTRiCiTY" compilation CDs of
Canberra Electronic Music
by several dozen Canberran electronica musicians, artists, bands, groups & producers.

"Australian Music Radio Shows"
One program was titled "Know Your Product" and featured the music of bands from anywhere in Australia and New Zealand. The other program was called "Local Anaesthetic" and focused on musicians and bands from the city of Canberra. For both shows the focus was on artists who were on independent record labels or who self-released their music. Numerous artists were interviewed live-on-air - including some live performances - or were interviewed via pre-recorded telephone calls. DJ Robot presented these radio programs once-or-twice-per-month for around 8 years (1996-2004). They aired at 5-7pm Saturday evenings. This adds up to around 100-150 shows.
Hosting these shows contributed to the production of this compilation of Australian independent
dark alternative music bands
.

"SUNSET"
This was a 4-6pm "drive-time" weekday radio show. DJ Robot hosted it weekly for about 4 years (2002-2006); on Thursdays for about 2 years and then on Fridays. That adds up to 150 to 200 or so programmes. The scope of music included a large range of genres - with a focus on underground independent artists from around the world - styles such as: indie-pop-rock, punk, electronica, rock, metal, industrial, gothic, ambient, folk, political protest songs and a variety of electronic dance music styles. The program also regularly featured interviews with local and touring music artists and people from a range of community activist groups.
Hosting these shows led to the production of the
Songs of Protest
compilation of independent
Australian alternative music bands.

The above adds up to around 500-600 radio programs. When factoring that most shows were 2 hours while some were 1 hour long, 500 or 600 multipled by 1.5 hours equates to around 750 to 900 hours of radio presented by DJ Robot Citizen and co-hosts such as DvaD9 plus many more episodes of these shows by numerous co-hosts.
