Open call: new shows on Radio WORM

Until June 29, our proposal form is open! What do you want to hear on Radio WORM?

We welcome radiomakers of all levels of experience, without limits on style or genre, who contribute in the spirit of WORM. We aim to reflect the many communities of Rotterdam, with special interest in local stories and ongoing international connections. Radio art, radio plays and sound art have always held a special place in our hearts, and we keep a tight connection with the WORM Sound Studios. We also seek out exchanges with like-minded sibling-stations, and opportunities to broadcast remotely with WORMies of all kinds. We’re interested in giving space to sounds, voices and ideas that don’t already have a large platform elsewhere.

Our shows might be…music * talk * art * solo * collective * live * pre-recorded * newcomers * pirates * [de]professionals * [ir]regular subjects * research * practice * improv * experiment * Roffa-centric * local to anywhere

Need to know:
– Shows are one hour duration, and happen on a 4-weekly or 8-weekly basis
– Successful proposals will have a 6-show series, with extensions possible
– You don’t need to have any prior radio experience to apply! You will be given a technical induction before your first show
– Selections will be advised in mid-July, with studio inductions in late August
– New shows begin in September

Apply here!

Selections are made by Radio WORM programmer Ash with guest programmers Viana, Matthias, Valentina and Laura and intern Giulia, with an eye on exploring new territory while staying true to WORM’s attitude of experimentation, development and openness. Questions? Write to radio@worm.org
