Radio 2.0

(Or: We couldn't change the world, so we changed radio.)

Arteradio.com is a creative reference for radio worldwide and a "school of sound" for young producers. Created in 2002, ARTE produces original creations (features, dramas, short pieces) with no format, no commentary and no music, then distributes them freely through podcasts, apps, community radio and blogs. Founder Silvain Gire explains the how, why and who behind the project, and shares some of his favorite projects from the ARTE archives.

Find links to many of the stories and projects discussed in this session, and other recommendations from Gire.
