Barely Audible is a  new audio podcast supporting mental Health issues in the UK, produced by Broadcast East.
A social media campaign  to support the aims of a number of charities leveraging  syndicated broadcast radio shows -and the community radio network.The Sunday Sit

The Sunday Sit Down
This is a brief, easily consumed piece created with digital and community radio in mind.  The idea is to share stories in a concise format as a feature of an already popular radio show. The aim is to create a piece that can be used across the airwaves, with the intention of directing listeners to the longer podcast, 'Barely Audible'. The concept is to design a short segment that can fit within a 15-minute timeframe, incorporating music selected by the guest and encouraging listeners to gain further insight into the guest and their cause.

Barely Audible - podcast

We will craft a  30-minute audio podcast for the Audible Platform to set out the aims of the charity, tell the subject's story and,  provide some advice and insight that may be of use.

Radio Advert

The aim is to produce an impactful radio ad that can be used by smaller stations to signpost the work of chosen charities after the Sunday programme has aired. The ad would be 30 seconds long and would feature the 'Here to Help' theme. It would be made available for download by any station, whether or not they take the Sunday programme.

Progress -03/10/24

Broadcast East  has spoken  to three  guests who  fit the areas we want to support. These include Silence on Suicide, A Hike with Mike and RookMay on Bipolar. Work is being carried out to complete the first stage of the campaign, with the first Sunday Sit Down being planned for October with May Ladd.  This will be followed by Simon Wilkinson, A Hike with Mike. The longer podcast is to be created in November.  Discussions have begun with SOS.
 

From a Weekly News Round Up Show in Ex Pat Spain, the Sunday Radio Magazine has morphed into a succesful Sunday syndicated Radio Show with a regular production team and importatly a regular host.  From its beginings of providing news during covid from UK citizens to family and loved ones the show has been developed by Broadcast East as a regular staple for Digital and community stations in the UK.  Its a niche weekend show that sits comefortably in the morning schedule or as a break from all music on 24 hour stations.  The key has been finding a regular host. 

Richard J Hannah who had already worked with KLR with Week In, Week Out and Seabord with 'Don't be afraid of the Dark!" was working with Spoanish station Global Radio 1 with the Big H Radio Show.  By combining, news round ups, with Stand up comedy and competitions, the product grew in the UK from a single station and podcast to two dozen stations and apodcast heard now in 10 countries.  The show has a sponsoed run till the end of 2026.
