OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Geoff Bird is one of the most prolific and acclaimed producers of literary radio, working today. He has made award-winning shows about writers like D.H. Lawrence, W. H. Auden, James Joyce, and a recent Radio 4 programme to mark the anniversary of The Great Gatsby with Oxford’s Anil Gomes and Nick Gaskell. He’s also made landmark radio about women in electronica music, The Woman-Machine, has written and presented his own shows about packing up the family home and taking his kids to university, and is currently making a podcast co-hosted by AI. After more than twenty-five years on the airwaves, he remains at the cutting edge of radio. In this talk, followed by a Q&A with the audience, he’ll be discussing his own route to making radio, his thoughts on how to get academic research on air, and how to kick-start a career in the fast-shifting terrain of digital, and AI influenced audio production.
Open to all.
