This is a radio feature I made in October 2010 for my Radio Production Degree.

CUE:
Modern Britain could soon see the end of a tradition that dates back centuries; the moustache. The number of men growing them has been in decline for years.

However, every November, the moustache is revived in aid of men’s health. Mo is a slang term for moustache, and so the campaign is known as Movember.
Men across the world are challenged to start clean-shaven on the first, and grow a moustache for the next 30 days. The moustache becomes the ribbon to raise funds and show your support for men with prostate cancer. 

Luke Beckett is a young man with a moustache all year round, trying to find out why there aren’t more people like him…


Moustaches: They Grow on You

This is a feature I made for the Alan Clifford show (Drivetime) on BBC Radio Nottingham whilst on Work Experience. This was broadcast on the 17th June 2011.

I went out to conduct the interviews, recorded the actuality, planned and wrote the feature, then edited it together during the day, in time for broadcast at 4:30pm.

Double Impact

CUE:
It's 50 years since Frantz Fanon, the French revolutionary and psychiatrist wrote his last book, Les Damnes de la Terre; The Wretched of the Earth.
Luke Beckett has been flicking through 'the handbook to the black revolution that's been changing the shape of the world', looking at its influence and its divisive central theme'.

This is my third year, final individual project. I sourced, conducted, recorded and edited all the interviews and voices, as well as pitching and planning the feature idea. The only thing I didn't make was the music, which I sourced and edited too.
