Manchester Literature Festival is teaming up with ALL FM Community Radio Station for Poems on the Road, a project celebrating poetry along the A6 Corridor. We are commissioning 5 poets from the area (Suzanne Batty, Helen Clare, Pete Kalu, Shamshad Khan and Martin de Mello) to produce new poems set in and around the Stockport Road area of Manchester. These poems will be recorded on location and aired on ALL FM in May 2011.
We are also offering 6 people the opportunity to take part in a 6 week radio production course run by ALL FM. The course will provide training in show planning, scriptwriting, interview techniques, equipment use, practical recording and editing. Course participants will also produce podcasts of the newly commissioned poems and interviews with the poets for live broadcast and online listen again facilities. The course is aimed at people with a particular interest in learning how to promote the arts and culture using new media.
