Radio in this country is mainly an everyday newspaper-y sort of thing. You get your headlines, your reports, your features, your columns. The fact that you’re listening and not reading is mostly considered a convenience, a boon to driving or dishwashing. The focus is more on the message than the medium. Not so at Canada’s Deep Wireless “Radio Without Boundaries” Conference where they celebrate the art of the medium, and play with it, and consider its very nature.
As we did in 2003, Transom is again bringing you a Special Feature on the month-long Deep Wireless Festival, including blogs from conference director Nadene Theriault-Copeland, many of the attending artists, and our own reporter Justin Grotelueschen, who is planning his trip to Canada right now. Drop by and see what’s happening.
