Podcasts made in collaboration with SFU VOCE's Podcasting Hub
Gas Imaginary Conversations
Below the Radar has partnered with the Or Galley to bring you recordings of the Gas Imaginary Conversations series. The Gas Imaginary is a multi-disciplinary project using poetry, collaborative drawings, installation, moving images, and lectures to unpack the broader significance of ‘settler conceptualism’, the racial logic of the property form and fossil fuel-based labour politics as capital reaches the limits of land use.
Minor Revisions
Minor Revisions is a podcast that demystifies the process of writing for academic journals, from the editors of EPC: Politics & Space. Each episode of Minor Revisions features the authors of a published article unpacking their publication and revealing some secrets behind it. Post-production for Minor Revisions is supported by Below the Radar at SFU's Vancity Office of Community Engagement.
Climate Emergency Broadcast
Quiet Alarm: A Review of CBC's Climate Reporting is a community-engaged research project conducted by SFU's CERi in collaboration with the Climate Emergency Unit aimed at improving the climate reporting of the CBC. One of their key recommendations is for the CBC to develop a daily climate emergency broadcast to bring Canadians stories from the frontlines of the climate crisis. These sample recordings demonstrate what such a broadcast could sound like. Audio production and editing support provided by SFU's VOCE.
