We represent blacks, whites, Latinos, Asians, men, women, and progressive people of all kinds. The show is like a party where anyone can get down. We discuss issues not normally discussed in the context of hip-hop, without being boring in attempt to beat things into people's heads. We at Damage Control believe information is power, and know that the music we play attracts the people who need information the most.

Other Side (The) - Thursday 9:00 - 10:30 PM.
The Other Side is a political talk show where the callers are the co-host!
We cover all local, state, and national issues from a progressive perspective not represented in the mainstream media as well as political races and elections.
The show also speaks to both political and socio-economic issues in an informative, engaging, and often humorous manner. Most importantly, the show acts as a conduit between progressive ideas and progressive actions. We don't just talk ideas and issues, we talk strategy and action! The Other Side allows for special guests such as GOP super patriot Bob Boudeldang, family values advocate Reverend Vernon Hell, and conservative economics guru, Robber Dinero to come on and present the conservative, "Christian", free market response to the topics we cover on the show. We feel as though the progressive perspective is better understood and thus appreciated when it is compared to bumper sticker conservatism. "In a crazy, conservative community this show is your soapbox of sanity!"

Self-Determination - Sunday: 9:00 - 11:00 PM.
Self-Determination (or "what kind of name is that for a radio show".)
Why "Self Determination"?: first of all it is a concept, something to slowly creep up on your consciousness and force one to consider it. It hits like a sledge hammer, yet it is also subtle, and is much more complex than it would appear on the surface. It speaks particularly to Black people, yet at the same time it is truly universal. The more I study and examine how the world works, the more convinced I am that we all are having a game run on us. Our almost complete ignorance of this fact continues to fuel our powerlessness and easy acceptance of the quasi-slavery to which we are presently subjected in this illusionary place of space and time. My probing declares that we, who consider ourselves weak provide the power to the ruling class. We who consider ourselves broke and poor provide the money that turns their world. The education proscribed for us teaches acceptance and easy contentment. If what the world needs now is love, self-determination is arguably in second place.

SisterSpace...for women AND for men.
"Life In Focus, a public affairs program of infinite proportions...a space of unlimited possibilities...a parallel universe of alternative realities. Life In Focus...a space...a place...a time...where daring to know, to be true to oneself, to heal and be in wellness is a statement of political resistance. Life In Focus..."
