Audio Curios: “From one side of the fault line to the other”
The long-term experiences and effects of the Canterbury earthquakes are woven through the many and varied broadcasts on Plains FM – Canterbury’s community access radio station. An example is captured in ‘Bookenz’ a weekly programme highlighting new books and their authors, from both New Zealand and abroad.
Recently host Morrin Rout talked to Canterbury poets Joanna Preston and James Norcliffe about their anthology of earthquake poems Leaving the Red Zone.
