Synopsis

College Radio Culture explores the vibrant and often overlooked world of college radio, revealing its significant role in shaping the music industry and media landscape. More than just broadcasting, college radio serves as a crucial incubator for independent music, offering a platform for artists marginalized by commercial stations.

The book argues that college radio fosters creativity, innovation, and community engagement, standing as a unique cultural phenomenon.

 
The book examines how college radio provides invaluable media training for students, translating into successful careers in broadcasting, journalism, and related fields. It further analyzes the unique social dynamics within these stations, emphasizing the sense of community and DIY ethos. Using archival materials, interviews, and surveys, the book provides a comprehensive look at college radio's impact on media consumption, cultural production, and community formation.

 
By examining college radio, the book sheds light on the challenges and opportunities facing independent media in the digital age.

The Jewel in Mumbai

Bikram Dandiya

The Global Vipassana Pagoda in Mumbai was built to mark the birth centenary year of Sayagyi U Ba Khin, the Burmese Dhamma teacher of S.N. Goenka. The monument is built in the Myanmar style of the Shwedagon pagoda, as a token of gratitude to that country where the essence of the Buddha’s teachings was maintained in its pristine purity, and from where it is now spreading throughout India, and via India to the rest of the world. Mr. S.N. Goenka became the vehicle to make this happen and was the inspiring guide for every important aspect of this building project. Tremendous volition and effort went into the building of this staggering monument, and it is interesting and educative to explore the journey. Mr. Bikram Dandiya has beautifully chronicled some of these experiences in this booklet, The Jewel in Mumbai, the story of the making of the crystal bud atop the Global Vipassana Pagoda.

In My Humble Opinion: My...

Soraya Roberts

A smart, engaging investigation of the show that brought real teens to TV My So-Called Life lasted only 19 episodes from 1994 to 1995, but in that time it earned many devoted viewers, including the showrunners who would usher in the teen TV boom of the late ’90s and the new millennium. With its focus on 15-year-old Angela Chase’s search for her identity, MSCL’s realistic representation of adolescence on TV was groundbreaking; without her there would be no Buffy or Felicity, Rory Gilmore or Veronica Mars. The series’ broadcast coincided with the arrival of third-wave feminism, the first feminist movement to make teen voices a priority, and Angela became their small-screen spokesperson. From her perspective, MSCL explored gender, identity, sexuality, race, class, body image, and other issues vital to the third wave (and the world). To this day, passionate fans dissect everything from what Rickie Vasquez did for gay representation to what Jordan Catalano did for leaning, and Soraya Roberts makes an invaluable contribution to that conversation with In My Humble Opinion.
