The Journey – A Changing Southampton
Ep 10 “Support & Change – Radio”
The 10th episode from our 18 month project ‘The Journey – A Changing Southampton’ made possible by monies received from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Ever wondered how and why Unity 101 FM started? When was the first British Asian broadcast?
Host Natalie Barrass chats with Dr Gloria Khamkar and Dr Ram Kalyan Kelly about the “Evolution of British Asian Radio”.
From the origins in the 1960s – all the way through to today – it’s a fascinating exploration of something we’re all familiar with.
This episode is the first “Support & Change” show which brings the stories of settlement within Southampton fully up to date.
Learn how radio helped the new arrivals of the sixties to integrate and assimilate into the UK way of life and how today’s Community Radio plays a big part in strengthening communities.
