Hatched: A Dozen in the Dark

Overview

In such a highly visual culture, you could be forgiven for overlooking aural art – but you really shouldn’t. Don’t be put off by the personalities on mainstream radio. There are some beautiful, carefully researched, lovingly crafted soundscapes and stories being played right now on the radio, and In The Dark showcases some of them before they even reach the air.

In The Dark first began in the UK as a series of listening events that aimed to give radio the same artistic consideration as film. Can we look at radio in the same way as for film or music? Can we be as experimental and get the same funding? Can radio producers become household names? The popularity of these events suggests maybe we can.

In the Dark Australia presents Hatched: A Dozen in the Dark. Twelve young, emerging radio producers from 3CR and SYN FM showcase their stories for your consideration and, hopefully, your listening pleasure.
