[creative-radio] Waves to be remembered by - Beyond the Bars, a live broadcast by indigenous prisoners



The community radio workshop by Gilla McGuiness and his son Johnny Mac for
Aboriginal prisoners at Port Phillip Prison.

Beyond the Bars airs on 3CR (855AM) July 6 and 7, from 11am to 2pm (Dame
Phyllis Frost Centre and Barwon Prison), July 8, from noon to 2pm (Fulham
Prison) and July 9, noon to 4pm (Port Phillip Prison).

[excerpt]

<http://www.theage.com.au/news/entertainment/tv--radio/waves-to-be-remembered-by/2009/07/02/1246127632683.html?page=fullpage#contentSwap2>

"...Wayne is an inmate at Port Phillip Prison. When he talks about the
beginning, he's talking about his first spell inside. That was nine years
ago, when he was 17. He rolls the word "juvies" (juvenile detention)
around in his mouth like most of us might say "high school".

Wayne and I meet in the prison chapel at noon on a Friday afternoon. We're
there for the same reason, to attend a workshop for Beyond the Bars, a
live broadcast by indigenous prisoners that takes place each year during
National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee Week. Led by
veteran broadcaster Gilla McGuiness and his son, Johnny Mac, the workshop
is attended by 15 prisoners, some of whom, like Wayne, have taken part in
the program since its inception in 2002. As Wayne tells me, this is both a
good and a bad thing: good that the broadcast's gone from strength to
strength, bad that he's still in prison to take part in it.

Beyond the Bars was conceived by Shaun Braybrook, who back in 2001 worked
as Port Phillip's indigenous liaison officer. "Basically I went to my
boss, who happened to be the head of a maximum security prison, and asked
him if we could have a radio show," Braybrook says of the project's
beginnings. "He said 'It's a good idea. Go ahead, talk to the people you
need to talk to and come back to me'." It was all the encouragement
Braybrook needed. He tracked down an old mate from his days at the Fitzroy
Stars Football Club, celebrated musician Kutcha Edwards, approached 3CR
community radio, and together they drafted a plan...."

PACIFIC RADIO DEFENDS BAN OVER 'UNBALANCED' FIJI INTERVIEW
http://pacificmediacentre.blogspot.com/2009/07/pacific-radio-defends-action-over.html

AUCKLAND (PMC Niusblog/Pacific Media Watch): A New Zealand-based
Pacific radio network has moved to defuse a controversy over a
Fijian-language interview critical of the Methodist Church and alleged
involvement of some leading clergy in past coups.

Pacific Media Network acting chief executive Tom Etuata told Pacific
Media Centre reporter Pippa Brown that the ban on experienced
broadcaster Bulou Amalaini Ligalevu-Legge had been lifted after she had
been suspended off air following last month's wide-ranging interview
with Citizens' Constitutional Forum executive director Rev Akuila
Yabaki.

Yabaki also spoke about the abrogation of the Fiji constitution,
censorship of the media and freedom of expression in the June 6
broadcast, but the programme's criticism of the Methodist Church in the
wake of the regimes cancellation of the annual conference drew three
written complaints to Radio 531pi/NiuFM.

The controversy was picked up by the independent media watchdog blog
Café Pacific.
http://cafepacific.blogspot.com/2009/06/veteran-fiji-broadcaster-gagged-on.html
Etuata said the radio tried to achieve balance in its programmes.

"She was suspended only from one programme, not from work," he said.
"She is still being employed as an announcer while we investigate and
get an independent translation because we did get a number of
complaints.

"Our community radio aims to provide both views of the topic and
provide balance as a responsible broadcaster on air."

Bulou Amalaini said the off air suspension was "very unfair".

She denied claims by complainants that she was a supporter of regime
leader Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama, saying little information was
coming out of Fiji and she had been trying to provide more insight and
research into political developments.

'Too scared'
Formerly of Radio Fiji and with 25 years broadcasting experience, Bulou
Amalaini said: People are too scared to talk, but Rev Yabaki was not too
scared to be interviewed.

Rev Yabaki, who is an outspoken champion of human and constitutional
rights in Fiji, spoke about the Methodist Church after the banning of
the conference, saying Fijis largest and most influential religious
institution was in disarray.

"If you look at the history of the stand that the Methodist Church has
taken in the past 20 years, you will note that it supported the first
coup of 1987 and also George Speight's coup in the year 2000," he said.

"But it opposed the coup of 2006 because it believes that Fiji should
be governed by Fijians, who are their members, as if it were their
divine right.

"This was the case when Dr Timoci Bavadra and Mahendra Chaudhry's
Labour Party won the general elections of 1987 and 1999."

One complainant to 531pi/Niu FM said: "It would have been fair ... if
Ligalevu [had interviewed] a member of the church in New Zealand or an
official of the church in Fiji on matters concerning the church.

"But to do exactly the opposite does not only degrade the biggest
domination in Fiji but also angers the members of the church who are in
New Zealand."

Bulou Amalaini said she had been told by the station management that
"the interview was good but it was not balanced - that I should have
interviewed somebody from the Methodist Church as well".

She said she had asked the head of the Fiji Methodist congregration in
New Zealand, Rev Peni Tikoinaka, to speak on the programme but he had
declined because he said he was not "fully versed" over the issue.

Another Methodist clergyman was also asked but declined.

[creative-radio] Sounds of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska



Arctic Collection

In early June of 2006, three teams of recording engineers traveled to the
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska to systematically capture the
sounds of this remote and wild region. From the period of June 2-11, audio
recordings were made at three locations representing different biomes:
Timber Lake (boreal/taiga/tundra), Sunset Pass (foothills/tundra) and
Beaufort Lagoon (coastal plain located within Refuge Area 1002, a site of
proposed oil and gas exploration). These recordings can be heard here as
part of the Arctic Soundscape Project. Arctic recording team member Dr.
Bernie Krause writes: "From the audio data we will be able to extract and
analyze (l) organism presence and density, (2) acoustic characteristics of
the habitats and landscapes (3) provide a baseline collection against
which to measure future impact of human noise, climate, and habitat
changes within those sites, and (4) provide audio data for a wide range of
applications for science, education, the arts, and conservation advocacy."
Search recordings from the collection or listen to selected highlights on
this page. Special thanks to Dr. Bernie Krause, Martyn Stewart and Dr.
Kevin Colver for the use of their Arctic recordings.

Support for the Arctic Soundscape Project was provided by the Animal
Welfare Institute, Calgary Zoo, Harvard University, Google (Firm), Johnson
Outdoor Industries, Madrone Audubon Society, Maine Community Foundation,
Patagonia, Inc., SanDisk, SkyWalker Sound, individual residents of the
Sonoma County community, Stanford University, University of Utah J.
Willard Marriott Library, and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
