We finish the year and the decade with the very last edition of mediageek. John Anderson of DIYmedia.net, the most frequent guest on the program, joins Paul in the studio for the send-off. There are a lot of thanks, some consideration the growth of the media democracy movement and John makes Paul reflect on the short history of the radio program.
This 30 minute syndicated version of the program is edited down from the live version which ran well over an hour on New Year’s Eve. The full (mostly) unedited version of the program will be posted next week.

John Anderson–he of 40+ appearances on mediageek–travels north to be live in the WNUR studio so we can discuss the Yes Men’s latest hoax, distributing over a million copies of their own special edition of the New York Times declaring the Iraq war to be over. Somehow we also manage to dovetail into talk about pirate radio and other media reform topics.
