BuddyLine: Connect w/ the Elder Community & Create a Radio Show (Funded by MAES)

BuddyLine is a series of intergenerational telephone conversations between people from the Sonder Radio Community of over 60s and the Reform Radio Community of under 30s.

Taking advantage of the technology available to us, the conversations will be remotely recorded from each of their homes. Through these honest conversations, our listeners enter into an intimate and genuine meeting between two people who would not otherwise interact in everyday society.

Participants will be committed to a week long training learning transferable communication skills such as storytelling, active listening, interview techniques, radio presenting and also the technology side of radio with the responsibility of recording, producing and editing these calls into a show that will be played weekly. 

This project starts on on Monday 27th May, running from 10AM – 4PM. There is also a taster session on Thursday 13th May from 12:30 – 2:30pm.

Welcome To 2020 With Reform Radio – Roundup Video

In March 2020 the UK was put into a national lockdown due to Covid 19.

As an organisation we pivoted quickly. We moved our workshops and mental health support online, provided digital training and access by lending equipment, while supporting our DJs and presenters to go live from their own homes.

Throughout the pandemic with the support from our funders, we were able to continue to employ all of our 15 staff to ensure the support we offer to our community could continue. 
  We committed to;

  • Ensuring the wellbeing and safety of the Reform Family and the wider community
  • Providing industry opportunities and pushing money back into the freelance economy.
  • Continuing to deliver quality content to bring joy into peoples’ homes.

We want to say a huge thank you to all of our staff for their resilience over this year, to all of our funders for continuing to support us throughout this time and to all of the Reform Radio community. We can’t wait to see you all in real life soon.

Above all a big THANK YOU to the Key Workers and NHS Staff who have shouldered the weight of the pandemic. ️
