New Radio Project - Now Hear This

Remember those guys that did the weird but wonderful "100 Cauliflowers" event last year? Well this year they're doing another wacky project - this time radio based. I'll let them tell you about it - but be quick if you're interested - deadline is 22nd May:

NOW HEAR THIS is a new radio programme that wants to hear from you now!

If you live or work in East Greenwich, Greenwich Peninsula or Charlton then please get in touch to be part of this programme.

This is a chance to have your voice heard and to take part in an arts project that is spreading understanding of local issues and encouraging debate.

We want to hear your opinion on whatever you think is the most important local issue of the moment. Call our local number leaving your short 'despatch' about your issue. Deadline for despatches is Friday 22nd May 2009.

Here’s how to do it.
1. Decide what you want to say. We’re looking for issues of importance to people who live or work in
East Greenwich, Greenwich Peninsula or Charlton but it could be anything really. Good or bad.
2. Is there a location relevant to your subject? If so you can go there to record your despatch, if not then just go to step 3.
3. Call the Now Hear This hotline 020 8858 8612. Record your despatch onto the answer phone.

What happens next:
If your despatch is chosen then you’ll be invited to a local public event where your issue will be discussed with other community members.
After that, an audio programme will be made that will include the despatches and the discussion. We will broadcast this out across both the internet and on live FM radio over the summer. Watch the Stream website for when and where.

Deadline for despatches is Friday 22nd May 2009.
