Radio Active and the IHC

A few thoughts on Radio Active. The idea of a student radio station is a good one as it can help pioneer new uses of perhaps the most powerful of the media. Also a lot of good noncommercial music which does not arrive here until perhaps a year or two after its overseas release, can be given some exposure. But I object to Radio Active's use of the IHC appeal as an attempt to project a 'good guy' image to the public. The attitude of the jocks was relaxed and seemed reminiscent of children having a good time at the taxpayers expense.

The IHC is a worthy cause and its use as a political football betrays a cynical attitude on the part of some of the prime movers behind Radio Active. As my late - lamented maternal grandmother said (once) on her deathbed, "If y'a gonna do it, do it well."

By the way Andrew Tees seems to be suffering from dysarthia, a speech problem involving poor articulation of words.
