With funding now secured, Glasgow's pop up radio station is back on the airwaves
The pop up radio station Radiophrenia has put out an open call for soundscapes, spoken word pieces, radio experiments, found sound and innovative drama or documentaries. Based in Glasgow’s Centre for Contemporary Arts, this year’s edition will be broadcasting between 9–22 November, and its programme will include live shows, pre-recorded features and in-studio performances, social distancing measures permitting.
“Radiophrenia aims to promote the medium of radio as an art form and encourage experimental approaches to making radio that are not catered for by mainstream stations,” reads its mission statement. “We want to hear from radio makers who are seeking a platform for their work to reach new audiences.”
As it doesn't have funding or fees for commissions, the open call is intended for existing works and should fall into one of four categories: pre-recorded radio programmes, shorter radio or sound works, experimental longform radio pieces of over two hours duration, and live presented shows or studio performances of 30–120 minutes duration. Unless particularly distinctive in concept, the station is unlikely to accept DJ mixes or music shows.
Deadline for submissions is 20 September. More information can be found on their website.
