"Some Assembly Required" is a sound collage radio program in the United States, produced in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is the first radio show known to focus exclusively on works of sample based music, and appropriation in audio art. The nationally syndicated program features work by artists from a variety of genres, including plunderphonics, hip hop turntablism, musique concrète, noise, bastard pop, sound art and more.
Some Assembly Required has featured interviews with a number of influential sound collage artists including The Bran Flakes, Emergency Broadcast Network, The Evolution Control Committee, Omer Fast, DJ Food, The Freelance Hellraiser, Girl Talk, Go Home Productions, Christian Marclay, Negativland, John Oswald, People Like Us, DJ Qbert, DJ Spooky, Steinski, The Tape-beatles and many more, since 1999.
The program began as a streaming online radio show in 1999, at the University of Minnesota's college radio station (KUOM), and quickly became a feature on the station's broadcast schedule. The radio program now airs on dozens of college, community and public radio stations across the United States and Canada, and can be heard online via its weekly podcast. Some Assembly Required is hosted by Jon Nelson and produced at Post Consumer Productions.
