Things continue to go from strength to strength: in its first week, the site has had more than 7.5 million views, 6 million unique visitors, 20% of whom return repeatedly. We've had press attention in The Guardian, NPR (thanks for the mention here already, Kevin!), Wired Germany, and many other venues. <span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><br>As you will also be aware, radio.garden also needs to grow, in several of its patches. The designer Jonathan Puckey, has been working overtime to accommodate requests for new additions, but there is still plenty of room for more (Africa is woefully under-represented at the moment). Please send these to contact@studio.puckey with<br><br>- Station name<br>- Station website<br>- Streaming MP3 URL<br>- City, Country<br><br>Beyond that, we also want to make a specific call out to the Radio Studies community to share your stories (to the extent you haven't already) for the "stories" layer of the globe. We are working on seeing how much we can gather before Christmas.<br><br>In terms of content: stories should reflect the experiences of transnational listening or production. This can be listening to radio from across borders, or stories of migration (temporary or otherwise) where radio forms a local connection. Stories from the production side are also welcome: what is the work of producing transnational radio? What translates, what doesn't? What discoveries do you make in the process? Please bear in mind, these don't need to be celebratory stories: transnational listening can also generate disconnection, frustration, misunderstanding (or very often a complex combination of both). It is vital that we capture that as well.<br><br>In terms of technical specs: Stories should be no more than 2 minutes in length, and on mp3 of at least 160 Mb/sec. If you don't feel comfortable doing it in English, feel free do it in your native language and send us an approximate transcript. (If, like me, English is your native language and you still feel uncomfortable, I'm afraid I can't help you....;-) )<br><br>Oh yes: and don't forget to send us a photo!<br><br>You can send these to me (ideally via file transfer):<span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:a.w.badenoch@uu.nl" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)">a.w.badenoch@uu.nl</a>.<br><br>Wishing you warm and relaxing holidays on behalf of the whole TRE and radio.garden team,<br><br>Alec</div></span></font><br>\\<br><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Community Media Association<br>-- <br><a href="http://www.commedia.org.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.commedia.org.uk/</a><br><a href="http://twitter.com/community_media" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/community_media</a><br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CommunityMediaAssociation" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/CommunityMediaAssociation</a><br><br>Canstream Internet Radio & Video<br><a href="http://www.canstream.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.canstream.co.uk/</a><br><a href="https://twitter.com/canstream" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/canstream</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
