Hello kr Hey up.me ducks
new daytime community radio has been launched on air 1449fm
Its focus is Leicester. ...not the whole county
My program was "Leicester locals"
I want to have a weekly show called history mysteries ...and wonder if anyone would like to participate share ideas .help make the shows etc
I think it will be very popular and become a daily show but is that my bias cos I like mysteries and histories and being a time travel detective
I'm going to start with a general program about finding grandparents origins .
Then about a street need St Margaret s where many shoe making families
Lived
Maybe look at some.local family names
Any ideas .very welcome. ..should I look at well known stories such as green bicycle murder case ? Alice Hawkins ..
What about having grandparents compare toys with grandchildren,
It will all be prerecorded but hope to include an element of listener participation
What woUldale you like to hear
any ideas of music tracks with historical edge or do you know any local musicians
I did a show the origins of a box made at a displacement camp near Leicester found the pot war address of tbe maker ...an Estonian who became a police officer before emigrating to canada
And some stories & poems about my great grandfather who was arrestedin 1916 in Wales for being given an alien .
The radio transmission based at the African Caribbean centre so if you tune in evenings it will be music based show .
Daytime show recorder by presenters at different locations.
