Re-Mix Culture on Wisconsin Public Radio

To the Best of Our Knowledge is a great radio show from Wisconsin Public Radio (it's syndicated, and you can hear it in San Francisco on both KALW and KQED) that has sort of a magazine format -- they'll address a topic from various angles with a few segments over an hour.

On Sunday evening, I found myself taking my time washing the dishes while I listened to their hour-long discussion of what folks call Re-Mix (or remix) culture.

In the program, DJ Spooky and The World Famous Audio Hacker talk about mashups; Lawrence Lessig makes a plea for reforming copyright laws that, he argues, make an entire generation feel like criminals; and Jason Bittner, an editor at CassetteFromMyEx.com, talks about that site's adventures in bringing the previous generation's remix format to the Web.

It's fun listen, highly recommended!
