Riederer launched Dissident Hymns in early 2025 as a creative "resistance" after funding cuts led to the cancellation of a Never Records installation in Washington DC. He describes the project as a "War Against Empathy," seeking to find harmony in a discordant world through anthems of resistance and poems that galvanise social movements. [Repeats Tuesday 9am.]

Arty Facts
[Repeated from Sunday 1.30pm.] Arty Facts with Master J is a show about working in the arts. Today, Master J is joined by actor and stand up comedian Jason Kavan. In the third part of their ongoing chat, the duo dive into the thorny, ever-lively world of free speech and cancel culture, asking why so many comedians seem determined to cancel each other and whether the comedy community is eating itself from the inside out. They swap stories about the shifting atmosphere around UK university gigs, debate whether any subjects truly deserve to be off-limits for a stand-up, and unpack the growing trend of deplatforming performers purely for their viewpoints. The conversation ricochets from Milo Yiannopoulos to Lenny Bruce to Star Wars. Plus, a live performance of a brand new song from the Original MCW YouTube channel.

Modulisme
Modulisme (which translates as Modularism) is devoted to out of leftfield modular synthesis. This week: Wolfgang Seidel belongs to the constellation of German artists who have pushed electronic experimentation to its limits. A long time collaborator of Conrad Schnitzler (Wolf Sequenza), he is one of those underground sound engineers for whom the workshop is a laboratory, the studio a darkroom and electronics an organism to be dissected. To listen to Wolfgang Seidel is to follow the arc of a man who learned to sculpt electricity the way others sculpt clay. A brief but blazing journey, traced by an artist convinced that at the end of every oscillation, another freedom is waiting. For more information visit modular-station.com. [Repeats Sunday 5am.]
