Paperweight Radio: The Ecological (S1, EP6)

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 The Ecological, featured guests include contemporary art historian Wood Roberdeau on how ecological concerns and ideas intersect with contemporary art practice; sustainable design scholar Paul Micklethwaite on the role of sustainability in design practice; and geographer Richard Bater on the politics of water in post-Soviet states.
