Binary Revolution Radio is an American weekly internet stream show about computer security that is aimed mostly at computer hackers. It was started and hosted by StankDawg in 2003, featuring different co-hosts each week.

The show would typically be prerecorded in Florida on a weekend, and then edited and released on the following Tuesday. Topics included phreaking, identity theft, cryptography, operating systems, programming languages, free and open source software, wi-fi and bluetooth, social engineering, cyberculture, and information about various hacker conventions such as PhreakNIC, ShmooCon, H.O.P.E., and Def Con.

In July 2005 Stankdawg announced that he was going to take a break, and the show was handed over to Black Ratchet and Strom Carlson (who had been frequent co-hosts during Stankdawg's run). During the time in which the show was under the management of the new hosts the format rotated between the standard prerecorded format, and a live format which included phone calls from listeners.

Stankdawg returned to the show in May 2006 to resume hosting Binary Revolution Radio. Since his return he has begun the process of bringing more community input into the show, by bringing on more members of the Binary Revolution community onto the show while maintaining the prerecorded format.

Binary Revolution Radio had its first ever broadcast in front of live audience during the HOPE 6 convention in New York City, June 2006, marking the first episode of their fourth season. ^[1] ^[2]

BinRev radio is broadcast on the DDP Hack Radio stream at 9:30pm EST on Tuesdays.
