The Next Wave is Here: A Welcome to Our Critical Defiance Family

If you’re reading this, you were probably with us for the ‘Critical Defiance’ journey. You were there as we picked apart the narratives, questioned the easy answers, and tried to make sense of a world that seems to get… well, louder every day. We loved every minute of that show, and we were endlessly proud of the community that came together around it.

But we’re not here to talk about the past. We’re here to celebrate the future.

Let’s be real: the media landscape we all have to live in is… a lot. It’s exhausting. We realized that just being “defiant” wasn’t enough anymore. In a world designed to make you angry instead of informed, you don’t just need to defy the noise—you need to build your own signal.

You need to create a counter-wave.

Welcome to Counterwave Radio

We are so incredibly proud and excited to officially welcome you to Counterwave Radio, the next evolution of everything we started together.

This isn’t a replacement; it’s an upgrade. We’re taking everything we learned and channeling it into something sharper, funnier, and more focused. This is the show we’ve always wanted to make, built from the ground up to be the “antidote to the noise”.

Don’t worry, the crew is all here. Neils, BobbySox, and Bill are still at the mics, reading through the mind-numbing policy reports and sitting through the cringey congressional hearings so you don’t have to. And the writing team is still in the background, digging up research and making sure the facts are locked tight, as always.

The mission is the same, just clearer. As we put in our new show description:

At Counterwave Radio, we’re all about cutting through the noise. We take on all the media hype and political spin with real facts, smart takes, and—let’s be real—a good bit of humor. We break down everything from policies to pop culture, help you think for yourself, and kickstart a new kind of conversation for a freer America.

Thank you for being on this ride with us. We truly believe this is going to be the best work we’ve ever done, and we can’t wait for you to hear it.

So, welcome home. Subscribe to the newsletter for updates and to be informed of our official launch. You won’t want to miss it!

The wave is building.

Cheers,
–The Counterwave Radio Team
