Banned in Boston on UNregular Radio

“Banned in Boston” is an online radio show sponsored by Occupy Boston and broadcast live on the UNcesnored Channel of UNregular Radio every Thursday night at 8 pm East Coast Time.

About the Show

  • "Banned in Boston" features radical activists who lived and worked at the Occupy Boston encampment until it was destroyed by Boston Police in December 2011. In the months that followed, these brave folks clashed with cops in DC, NYC and Chicago, some returning with stitches or broken ribs to prove it.
  • More than just angry protestors, the co-hosts are people working to transform themselves and society in positive ways on a daily basis. Their passion engages listeners whether they are expressing themselves through humor, anger, or both.
  • Because creativity is an essential part of social and political movements, the crew enjoys sharing audio from cool happenings they've attended in Greater Boston that range from folksy basement shows in Allston, to underground hardcore shows in Brighton, to groovy poetry readings in Jamaica Plain.
  • "Banned in Boston" is co-hosted by John Stephen Dwyer, John Ford, Nelson Terry, John Murphy and Rene Perez with a revolving group of guests that includes Jen Elias, K.C. Hoye, Jay Kelly, Sage Radachowsky and Nicole Sullivan.
  • Repeat episodes are broadcast on Metacomet Radio and Occupy Boston Radio.

Past Episodes

  • November 15, 2012 This episode features John Stephen Dwyer, John Ford, John Murphy, Rene Perez and Nelson Terry talking about the 2012 Anarchist Bookfair at Simmons College, Occupy Sandy efforts on Long Island, an impending Wal-Mart employees strike on Black Friday, civil unrest in Europe, and US support of Israel during the recent attacks on Gaza. An election night audio clip from Vermin Supreme and Evan Greer performing "Love Me, I'm a Liberal" at the Whirlybird Coop in Brighton, MA are included as well.
  • November 8, 2012 This episode has Patrick Doherty, John Stephen Dwyer, K.C. Hoye, Jackie Soriano, Nelson Terry, and a phonecall from Ronny Nunez, a person involved with Occupy Sandy relief efforts. The people in-studio also discuss the Massachusetts ballot question that would have legalized physician-assisted suicide for the terminally ill and try to figure out if Dwyer is really pro-life or pro-choice. Unfortunately, most of this episode is lost because of an error in the studio. C'est la vie.
