Demo map of Radio Project
3 hour show once a week, with four 45 minute episodes.
The four shows circulate between 8 individuals or groups connected to the university.
Each show has full agency over their topic and theme. A connection to critical analysis of neoliberal education, whether that is through direct commentary, joy or sillyness, is encouraged. 🙂
Once a week, a group of radio editors gather to compile the episodes, recording introductions between each episode for a sense of continuity. They also prepare next weeks by making sure all episodes are in the production process or planned.
Occasionally an episode is recorded live on campus and people are invited as an audience.
A variety of shows could include: Interviews,discussions, curation of sound and music pieces from students and workers in the university, DJ mixes, show by outsourced staff.
e.g Friday, 5-8pm.
Timeline (since this is an amitious project, it may take some time to build up to a three hour show)
- Find a working group of editors, curators and producers who want to be involved throughout the process. Perhaps we can reach out beyond the Sound Arts course.
- Establish a name, and a platform to publish the radio show.
- Begin with a deadline for the first show, perhaps it is two hours long, with three episodes, with two weeks of production time.
- Plan the next episode based on the previous experience.
Goals
- Each episode encourages collaboration in some way, to build connections, solidarity and collectivity on campus across different boundaries eg. student/worker/tutor/manager.
- Most production occurs on campus to build a sense of power and ownership in the space.
- Collaboration between students and workers, building connections through the university campus.
- Amplifying voices silenced in the university.
- Fun and enjoyable listening experience. 😛
- Learning DIY radio practices, and non-hierachical political practices in the production process.
