radio continental drift  
a broad casting house in the bag of a listener
out to here unheard voices
a branch of the growing networks of sound workers, 
audio artists, radio communities, and the street corner academies 
of listening and broadcasting 
around the world 
radio is happening 
when people loiter in public places
the air is free!

radio continental drift is a mobile radio drama project focusing on spoken word, “dramatic field-recordings”, narratives usually produced before/ during/ after skills-training workshops or in the context of long-term collective audio media projects such as the NO-GO-ZONES project and the DURBAN SINGS audio media & oral history project. 

The work of radio continental drift takes place on the intersection of sound art, radio drama, media activism, acoustic education and literacy, oral history, community radio and digital communities. At each point of its journey, a project seeks creative and collective ways to exploit the opportunities of digital media for transmitting a story together with the toolbox and infrastructure of its production – be it locally, in collective media projects, or on-line for a global audience. The resulting compositions, radio dramas, trailers and mixes of radio continental drift invite a listener in to a space where “I can hear myself listening”... an awareness about listening as an imaginative, productive and creative act.
