Things are moving apace with Sheffield Indymedia.
As this is my first post on this site about IMC-Sheffield, I suppose I ought to clarify a little. I’m a member of the collective that runs the Sheffield section of the UK site. We only got together as a group in March of this year, but since then we’ve got together a Sheffield page, some members have been instrumental in the technical implementation of the new UK Indymedia site and tonight we did our first radio broadcast!
The show went out on Sheffield Live!, which is broadcasting 03–30 July on 106.6FM in additional to the usual webcast. We’ll be there every Tuesday evening from 1900–2000BST [UTC+1] throughout July.
A small group of folk got the show together which went rather well I thought. Respect and love to Bill, Christina, Dan, Lucy, Matt and Steve.
My small part of this endeavour? Doing an interview with oi and muke from the trollyd soundsystem—good mates of mine—who went to Evian for the G8 at the beginning of June. Editing was a collaborative process, many thanks to oi, muke and tso especially for help on this. I’m also did a bit of link/anchor style stuff during the programme itself. I’ll update this post when the mp3 makes it onto the site. We also plan to post an mp3 on The a-infos Radio Project.
It was a blast!

You can now listen to the show. It’s Realmedia unfortunately. So here’s the stream. You can also get eleven mp3s of the show. I hope to upload the whole mp3 to The a-infos Radio Project tonight.

It’s up on The a-infos Radio Project at last.
Unfortunately the recording didn’t work out. We didn’t exactly have any training to use all that complex equipment so next week perhaps we’ll get a recording.
