Radio and the 'New Normal'

摘要

new arrival on the burgeoning cafe scene in Hastings is also the first in the area to have installed a podcast studio. Controversially-named Crippled Badger, it is a community cafe with a meeting room and workspaces. The cafe is so named because its ethos is about helping those around us on the roadside as we pass through life. The most progressive of the local newspapers, Hastings Independent Press, has relocated there. The podcast studio will be put to good use by local individuals, community and political groups. There is already a vibrant podcast scene in this creative seaside town. I know individuals who host podcasts about music, gardening, grief and more. Two community service RSL stations also usually run each year, in May and August. Is this a microcosm of wider western society or are Hastings and St. Leonards-On-Sea punching above their weight?
