Paperweight Radio: Ghosts and Screens (S1, EP1)

This live radio discussion broadcast on Resonance 104.4fm brought together artists, designers, architects, curators, historians, theorists, writers and scientists to discuss topics within the fields of visual and material culture.

I was producer and host of the series and of the individual broadcasts, work which included conceiving of the concept for the series, developing the themes, identifying and booking guests, conducting pre-show interviews and research, drafting scripts and training guests for radio presentation of their work. I was also host of the live shows, introducing themes and topics and interviewing the guests.

In this episode on Ghosts and Screens, featured guests include the origins of Paperweight with art historian Matt Lodder; media scholar Øyvind Vågnes on Abraham Zapruder’s film of the assassination of JFK; and design historian Paul Atkinson on vapourware.
