This internet site is the home of Glastonbury Net Radio, one of the first internet radio stations in the UK. Set up in 1999 as a non-profit making experimental outlet for new work, the station celebrated the new technology that suddenly became available.
A very easy site to navigate, there are many programmes available to listen to 24 hours a day, streaming in Real Media format. These include documentaries, performance and fictional art pieces, profiles of local people and discussion programmes alongside some interesting and relevant background material to the programming along with illustrative pictures. Topics covered range from youth culture, theatre, politics, social and global change, the history of Glastonbury, and even life as a Romani Gypsy. There is a balanced mixture of material focussing on the local community and other wider reaching subject matter.
There is a history of the internet radio station on the site, detailing how the project got started and their plans for the future, to produce and add programming to the site on a regular basis. The site states the project is committed to: documenting and publicising the arts and social change, profiling people who are at the forefront of 'new thinking', prioritising unusual writing and drama for radio, exploring soundscapes and compositions, providing an opportunity for other programme makers to contribute to the station, promoting programming made by and for young people, continuing to explore the medium of net-casting, experimenting with content and form and seeking funding to support the station either by grant or sponsorship.
