JACK OFF WITH JACK SHIT
 
/// Description:

Interreactive fiascophonics.

/// Program Mission:

To contrast styles of sound from all era’s

To play music across genres in a thoughtful, thematic fashion, undercutting it with playful irreverence.

To create a one-off experience with each show through a no-repeat policy and an iron-clad rule that guests should always perform live (encouraging improvisation here also with songs never aired before, new instruments, readings etc).

To challenge the conventions of standard radio formats in presentation and content, with the aim of achieving an immersive experience – fewer mic breaks, little forward maintenance, less ID’s, and creative mixing of sources.

To provide thorough, non-city-centric listings of music/arts/culture with an emphasis on the inclusion of emerging subcultures.

To offer an alternate voice reporting on current events.

To achieve genuine and relaxed exchange in interviews with a focus on the personal rather than the PR, revealing the true nature of guests.

To entertain and inform listeners.

To surprise and engage.

/// Music Content:

Emphasising music that is generally not prioritised elsewhere on-air: extremely short or long songs, never ‘radio edits’, album tracks other than singles, live and home-made recordings, rough, lo-fi, minimal, intense.

/// Target Audience:

The program is aimed at FBi’s general audience and everyone beyond.

The show melds both mainstream and counter-cultural sounds - weaving all sources together with genuine respect and knowledge in a considered way.
