“Madness Radio” Comes to WBCR-lp

Listen for Madness Radio on your community radio station Wednesday afternoons at 4:00 pm.  Madness Radio: Voices and Visions From Outside Mental Health is a weekly FM show produced through WXOJ-LP in Northampton MA.

Madness Radio focuses on personal experiences of ‘madness’ and extreme states of consciousness from beyond conventional perspectives and mainstream treatments. The program also features authors, advocates, and researchers on madness-related topics, including civil rights, science, policy reform, holistic health, history, and art.

Madness Radio presents voices often marginalized by other media, and takes a critical approach to mental health policy, corporate marketing, and traditional medical authority. Each in-depth interview challenges listeners to a new understanding of experiences that are often stereotyped and feared, and encourages reconsideration of how to truly improve care and meet human needs. The program respects all treatment and medication choices people make, while providing an opportunity to hear outsider perspectives. Madness Radio is part of the international movement for diverse-ability rights, informed consent, and self-determination.
