Calling all budding radio producers! Streetlife, the Waltham Forest community radio station run mainly by young people, is running a free Open College Network accredited radio course. The accreditation will count towards national qualifications. The course takes place at the Streetlife FM studios at The Outset Centre (near St James Street Station). It will cover how to interview people, how to edit audio, how to plan a radio programme and how to use a radio studio. On the last week of the programme the students will go live on Streetlife FM and all students who pass will also have the opportunity to get a regular show on the station.
There are currently 10 places left or 14-19 year olds working or studying in Waltham Forest. The course started this week and will run from 4 -7pm for the next 8 weeks. There'll also be some additional workshops scheduled. Anyone who is interested can call Streetlife FM on 020 8520 6515.

'Memory Marathon'
is a project by the artist Simon Pope. On Saturday November 7th 2009,
Simon will be filmed walking a 26-mile route around the five Olympic
host boroughs. Over 100 people will accompany him along short sections
of the route, sharing their standout personal memories of the Olympics.
This project is looking for 30 - 40 Waltham Forest residents of all
backgrounds to take part to represent our borough. You'd need to attend
workshops to prepare for the event, to meet the artist and explore your
memories.
On the day
itself, you'd only need to be there for an hour and would only be
walking a 400-metre stretch of the route (approx 5 - 7mins). Organisers
are asking participants to keep the whole day free though until they've
properly mapped the route and put the memories into order. If you're
interested, please send an email marked 'Pass Me The Baton!' with your
name and phone number to Mel and Anna, the participation co-ordinators
at passthebaton@me.com. Alternatively, you can text your name and the message 'Pass Me the Baton!' to 07957 433 234.
