September (looooooads of events)
Here, do you know what’s mad??? We’ve got looooooads of events this month. Along with our roster of lethal radio, we have several new shows starting in September. Keep your eyes & ears open for more news on them & crucially stay locked!!
If you’re not already a station patron, we would love your support, head over to our Patreon to sign up!
Our monthly Open Studio event is back with a bang & back indoors Saturday, September 10th from 13.00-16.00, after a double bill of open-air studios in July and August. Returning to the ordinary studio environment gives us an opportunity to get back to basics and embrace what the open studio is all about: mutual skillshare, support and an opportunity for ddr. residents, members and members of the public to collaborate on live radio together.
The studio will be open between 13.00-16.00 for inspired radio-makers with or without any experience. We welcome all ideas and will have experienced broadcasters on hand to help give any idea, big or small, its fair shot on the day. Bring your records, your hot takes, a ham radio and your granny to our studio this September 10th.
If you would like to volunteer at our Open Studio events, please fill out the form here.
Culture Night:
Speaking of Open Studios, a 2nd Open Studio event will be held on September 23rd to coincide with Culture Night. Like our ordinary Open Studio event, this will be about participatory learning and oriented towards members of the public.
Visitors will be free to collaborate in a live radio broadcast, whether by simply bearing witness, or getting directly involved in the radio making process: selecting music, or speaking to our listenership directly via the studio equipment.
A slate of ddr. residents and guests will be there to supervise and perform throughout the night in collaboration with the public. The event will be broadcast live over the ddr. stream.
Link to the Culture Night event can be found here, and we encourage all volunteers willing to assist with Open Studio nights to apply here.
