Radio is Dead is a space to foster and showcase collective creative/experimental radio production by amateur and veteran CKUT volunteers. CKUT is a proud contributing partner of Radia.fm, so most weeks, we broadcast episodes by other Radia partners. However, if YOU want to produce experimental radio art, get in touch with us at spokenword@ckut.ca with your ideas. We've helped create field recordings, soundscapes, ambient compositions, radio collages, serialized science fiction radio plays, and much more.

Every Monday 2 - 3pm (EST)

Show 0834: Hello! This is a test by Mark Leahy (Soundart Radio)

All sat frozen and watched the screen.

Code is used when secrets are sent.

Three for a dime, the young peddler cried.

They told wild tales to frighten him.

The core material for this project began with a selection from the Harvard Sentences, and then other materials including phrases from the Modified Rhyme Test, and panphones were added. This collage was then read aloud to an Android tablet and converted to a new text using Google speech to text software. The new text was read to the tablet and a second conversion was performed. That resulting text was then edited and had punctuation added.

Show 0835: Organizized by Gjorgji Janevski (Kanal 103)

“Organizized” is a fragmented diary of radio pleasures in times of pandemic. Music and friendship when we needed them the most, improvised and recorded at the premises of Kanal 103 radio in Skopje.
