Her.st Propaganda Broadcast

Behind the Her.st Propaganda Broadcast lies a radically minimalist audio project from Austria that consistently relies on self-hosting and the avoidance of cloud services. The stream is directly accessible at radio.her.st/listen/listen/128.mp3 and can be played not only in web browsers but also easily via command-line tools such as mpv. In terms of content, the programme breaks with the conventions of classic radio formats and instead relies on uncompromising curation.

The spoken word and sound offering conveys the philosophical and socially critical focal points of the author behind it. Instead of conventional music segments, the acoustic profile is shaped by archive recordings, lectures and the intellectual worlds of figures such as Art Bell, Terence McKenna and Alan Watts. Key themes such as privacy, digital sovereignty, psychology and critique of the system are reflected directly in the tone of the station, which serves as an auditory extension of a decidedly technology- and civilisation-critical blog.
