Short Story Radio Projects
"Stories for All" is a new, not-for-profit project proposed and managed by Short Story Radio founder, Ian Skillicorn.
Over the past two years Short Story Radio has been involved in a number of successful collaborations with charities and not-for-profit groups, leading to the decision to set up Stories for All as an ongoing project. The aims of Stories for All are:
to produce quality, original audio stories, poetry and drama for non-commercial organisations, at no cost to them;
to widen access to quality audio productions to hard to reach groups of people in society; to produce audio stories for groups of people in society who do not feel their lives are reflected in mainstream storytelling.
We plan to achieve this by working with a variety of funders and sponsors who would like to support our aims. If you are a not-for-profit organisation, or a funder or commercial sponsor, who like to learn more about Stories for All, please contact us. Bedside Stories Short Story Radio is pleased to annouce an innovative and exciting project to provide hospital radio stations with a series of short stories for patients. Our Bedside Stories have been written by Sue Moorcroft, whose work has appeared in numerous national magazines, including Bella, The People's Friend and My Weekly. The stories are narrated by Tamara Kennedy (Take The High Road, Taggart, Monarch of the Glen). Just some of the hospital radio stations who are broadcasting our Bedside Stories can be seen to the right. If you are involved with a hospital radio station and would like to broadcast our Bedside Stories, please contact us. You can also listen to two of our Bedside Stories online. Insight Radio Short Story Radio was delighted to be featured on Insight Radio, the radio station of the Royal National Institute of the Blind, in late 2008. As part of our current Arts Council England funded project we will be supporting Insight Radio in 2009 and 2010. A selection of our new stories will be broadcast by the station during this time. |
