For the last year I have been teaching first year media students at the University of Lincoln, the basics of radio production. A very enjoyable element of my work. The Unviversity has one of the best thought of media and journalist courses in the UK.
I have been involved in a university project that sees foreign language students out in the county and practicing their skills in local schools. We are hoping this will continue during the Autumn though these days nothing seems to be certain. My part in this is to commit some of the lessons and discussions to disc for further use in the language department and they will be streamed on line. The project is called Radio Lingua and regional interest in the project means I have also been working with schools in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
I'm helping is helping to run WFR - William Farr Radio, which is broadcast on the school intranet and to some of the communal areas. That work will continue in the Autumn term.
I'm embarking on a project with a former broadcasting colleague. It's all a little secret at the moment but if it takes off, I could be updating this website from the Caribbean.
