Summer time and looking back…

KhaoZ Media, Summer 2011 Live Web Broadcast

New volunteers to the last session of spring/summer 2011 get stuck in!

Yes, summer is upon us. In 2011 the snow has had it’s turn, the rain has been chased away and the early summer came and went. Now it’s time for the real summer – some heat and then rain, rain, rain, but hopefully with some lovely sun in between.

The last thing we worked on was a radio broadcast and live web TV broadcast as part of our “Art & Media: Ways Out Of Poverty” project. This was planned over about four weeks and involved every member of the KhaoZ Media crew pitching in to do their bit from scripting to taking pics, recording and editing the media and much more. It was a real team effort – well done everyone.

You can listen to our radio broadcast:

Our TV broadcast will be available online soon.

Here at KhaoZ Media, the school holiday’s and the arrival of summer mark our annual break where we get to sit back and kick off our shoes. We won’t be meeting in the York Explore Library and Learning Centre every Thursday evening but we will be beavering away behind the scenes.

We wish all our volunteers past and present a cracking summer whatever thy are getting up – we wouldn’t be KhaoZ Media without them and their sterling work they offer to us for no charge.  We hope to see many of them as possible when we get back together in September – sounds almost like school or college, huh?

In the meantime, we’re still keeping our eyes peeled so if you do get in touch, you will not be ignored – whether it be via Facebook, Twitter or our updated contact page (thanks to a Facebook user for suggesting we implement this). We shall respond and get back to you; although we might not be able to get anything properly in motion until we’re back – but we will at least respond to say thank for the contact.

I am personally looking forward to what may be becoming an annual project for us when we will be working at the York Peace Festival to produce audio and video coverage.  Hear last year’s audio reports here.

We’ll leave you for now with what we think is a summery tune, Folding Chair by Regina Spektor:

Seeya in September 2011,
