Listening out in the world

Third Coast listening events (often called "Listening Rooms") present unforgettable audio work in a public setting -- a theater, a coffee shop, a bar -- anywhere with a good set of speakers and where people can gather together and listen. Each event features a special guest and includes a diverse selection of documentary audio work. It’s a little like a book club for radio.

We're pleased as punch that our Chicago-based Listening Room partner for 2012 is the Hideout. We'll be presenting three Listening Room events at The Hideout this year - details below.

Also! Have docs, will travel. The TCF also sponsors and supports other types of audio events in Chicago and beyond. Want us to visit your city or town? Collaborate with your organization? Let us know.

Third Coast Listening Room: The Sound(s) of Protest
With special guest writer, artist, culture chronicler, Anne Elizabeth Moore
March 13th / 7 - 8:30 pm
The Hideout / 1354 W. Wabansia / Chicago
Tickets available now!

As Chicago prepares to host the NATO/G8 summits this spring, the city is abuzz with "protest anticipation." Let us feed the fire! Come out for an evening of audio stories about talking back, occupying, resisting, and agitating. From an early NPR broadcast during the Vietnam War, to the recently ubiquitous Human Microphone phenomenon, the evening's program will span a wide spectrum of protest narratives.

Special guest Anne Elizabeth Moore will be on hand to lend her perspective and to share a story or two herself. 

Anne Elizabeth Moore is a Fulbright scholar, Truthout columnist, the author of Unmarketable: Brandalism, Copyfighting, Mocketing, and the Erosion of Integrity (The New Press, 2007), the founding editor of the Best American Comics series, and co-publisher of now-defunct Punk Planet. Moore teaches at SAIC and conducts self-publishing work with young women in Cambodia. Her latest book, Cambodian Grrrl: Self-publishing in Phnom Penh (Cantankerous Titles, 2011) is the first in a series on independent culture, globalization, and women’s rights in Southeast Asia.
