Inside Story - William Gallagher
From writer, journalist and DMB supporter William Gallagher... Do check out the latest article on his website 'Self Distract'
"I’m particularly pleased with this one: it’s only been up a few minutes but it’s been picked up and retweeted around, I’m getting lot of lovely comments. It’s about a time last year when I went to prison to teach writing. Seems to have struck a nerve with people."

Speaker: Geoff Woolf, Technology Development Manager, BBC English Regions
At November’s Creative Networks we heard from Graham Thomas about how BBC R&D is stretching the capability of broadcasting. In Birmingham’s Mailbox, BBC English Regions have been working on enhancing the tools used by programme makers. They’ve been developing a revolutionary new way to build a local radio studio. It will be a virtual radio station which is quick to install and can be set up anywhere where there is good connectivity. Geoff Woolf will explain the concept, how it works, why the BBC are doing this, the benefits, and where it could ultimately take the broadcasting technology sector.
Creative Networks brings together all parties involved in screen and sound media in the West Midlands, promoting both successful business development and collaboration.
