Recommended Posts

Hello,


We are based in East dulwich and looking for young voices to host a podcast this summer for Foyles bookshop.


Foyles have asked us (WordPlay: Audio, Podcast & Radio Projects for Children) http://www.wordplayeducation.co.uk/ to create a second podcast series this year based on their summer Literary Festival for children & young adults - The Story Box Festival.


We created three podcast episodes last year with lots of friendly and confident children from East Dulwich last year and this year we are looking for more children to host the podcast! Here are the three previous episodes: http://www.wordplayeducation.co.uk/foyles-the-storybox-podcast/


We are looking for four children aged 9-16 to help us out to host the podcast - there will be several fantastic events throughout the summer reading festival and we would like our young hosts, presenters and reporters to interview authors, have discussions based on the events, read the script (and make any changes) for the podcast and present the festival news! Confident and fluent readers are a must!


If you would like your child/ren to take part, please do email us on [email protected] or send me a PM on here.


We have provisionally booked in dates for the podcast recording to take place on the shop floor of Foyles Charing Cross Road Branch - 2 children per date would be awesome:

Saturday 29th July 4.30pm - ages 9+


OR


Saturday 12th August 10am - ideally the two children recording on this date are aged 13+ as the events covered will be with Young Adult Authors.


The recording can take up to 2 hours (or longer depending on content we record)!


If your child would like to be involved but unable to make these dates, send us an email and once the programme of events is confirmed we can let you know which events we will be attending with our microphones and perhaps they would like to interview the author/illustrator etc - please note that most events are charged).


We're looking forward to hearing from you!

    • The privatisation of water is just ridiculous. I have the Safer seas and rivers service app on my phone (recommend it if you like to swim outside) and the regular (weekly) sewage dumps highlighted all along the south coast is just outrageous.
    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
