Digging The Archives #1

05/04/20 • 46 min

Lockdown has prevented us from going to galleries and museums in person - but it hasn't stopped us from accessing culture online. In a new series, Laura and Christopher pick out some forms of digital culture archives that have been keeping them entertained while remaining socially distanced. The first episode in this series features queer zine archive QZAP, and the University of Liverpool's interactive Viking Age In The North West app.

BONUS: What Is Activism?

Following on from our previous podcast on community media with Dr Paddy Hoey, we have an extra bonus episode for you. This is based on a conversation Laura had in 2019 with Paddy about activism in the digital age, based around the book he'd just written about Irish republican media activism.

Episode 1: Field Notes

Back for a third season and in a slightly different format, the Bido Lito! Arts + Culture Podcast is back telling stories from across Merseyside to a different theme each episode. Andrew PM Hunt began his musical journey with pop provocateurs Outfit and has since become a stalwart of Liverpool's avant garde scene via his Dialect project and latterly, Land Trance. He discusses how field recordings have influenced his sound and what effect the process of recording the environment has on his work. Elliot Hutchinson talks about his adventures in aural thrills beginning as a deaf new born and how his fascination developed. The Dig Vinyl team member, DJ and collector discusses a new section of the Bold Street shop presented specifically for hip hop producers and his continued dedication to identifying and manipulating found sounds.
