The Little Earth Show Radio Series

Dear Friend,
Donegal's Highland Radio will broadcast the 2 more of the 4 radio shows produced by FEASTA entitled 'The Little Earth Show' .

Produced for an audience of 15 years old upwards the Little Earth Show is a four-part radio drama with a difference based partly on the best selling 'Little Earth Book' by James Bruges. Each episode takes a theme, essential to humanity and to this little earth we live on, and analyses the issues from a global and local perspective.

The style of the show is a competitive dialogue between two characters, which owe some part of their genesis to Homer and Lisa Simpson. Their running confrontation is set in a REALITY RADIO setting (like reality TV only on the radio ) which we call 'The Little Earth Show'. This format allows us to be funny and provocative at the same time. The Reality Radio setting gives us the excuse we need to place the contestants anywhere in the world that’s appropriate, whether on a beach in Donegal, in an SUV in California, on top of the Three Gorges Dam in China or in a food-truck delivering around the world.

This project is part education, part comedy and part radio drama. It’s a new concept in radio. The intention is to make entertaining, informative, challenging and accessible radio.
