Radiophrenia at the Shed
RADIOPHRENIA is a radio art collective, festival and art radio station broadcasting intermittently across Glasgow.
Steve Urquart from the project approached us in 2024 to pitch the idea that the Shed could become a part of their April 2025 broadcasts.
We really didn’t have a clue what this meant other than some people visiting the Shed with microphones. I think the Radiophrenia people do this intentionally to leave a broad canvas on which they can paint their sound images.
So, we said ….. yes ….. and waited ….
In Feb 2025 it started. A couple of young people (young people are not often seen at the Shed), Ros and Mark, started dropping in with their microphones. They recorded stuff - the people and noises of the Shed. They talked to lots of the Men. They recorded more stuff - the workshop, the hammering, the sanding, the garden, the pool table. They talked to more of the Men. They were great - very respectful and engaged.
Then they went away and started putting a radio show about the Shed together.
The show was broadcast on April 17th 2025. A few of the guys went down to Radiophrenia to hear it going out live.
Here it is in all it’s glory … Just click on the link below and get your headphones on.
We think it’s brilliant.
THANK YOU Radiophrenia.
