good thing noticed #2: paper radio

Posted on November 11th, 2009

This is a cute little idea from Melbourne – a podcast service that uploads aspiring writers’ works as audio. Do you write? Contact paperradio direct and see if they like your style.

They’re accepting prose, poetry, political rants, profiles…most things that are about pen to paper. Sadly they don’t do Venn diagrams. Yet.

The content must fall anywhere between 4 and 20 minutes. 160 written words translate to about a minute in speech.

Gosh, I wish it was invented when I started out writing. Would’ve been all over it. Instead, I wrote feminist rants for the ANU student paper. And poetry inspired by Jim Morrison. Imagine. I actually turned up to my first work experience gig at Good Taste magazine with it in my little CV folder. Bless you, Lisa Green, for taking me on!!
