During the week of World Radio Day we aim to create an annual fringe event, featuring the future and history of radio, and sounds from stations from all over the world.
We aim to make it as easy as possible to participate in the radio, through music, and conversation.
The event will have the usual Event Structure Template. We start with a Warmup Weekend and series of opening events, leading up to a 72 hour festival the following week.
