LOCKED ON - LOCKED DOWN

"we don't have much time" in the words of Jack Bauer and never were truer words spoken. One hour in fact is all that is left of the first series of our radio show. Locked On Radio has been a fantastic experience for everyone involved and our partnership with Endell St Studios to make the programmes has opened the door to lots of creative ideas, and has given the team opportunities inside and outside of the show.

Series 2 is in the pipeline and the show will be moving from SoundCloud to Recharged Radio, but first we have to get the darn thing funded, applications thus far have not been fruitful so until we have some success on that front we are sadly Locked Down. The shows including the very last show Expectation can be heard on the player below.

So as we bid you farewell for now here are quotes from two of the radio show team explaining what Locked On Radio has done for them in the last 12 months

 "The radio project has been a fantastic experience for me, as i've been able to use and develop skills i didn't even realise I had. It gives me a reason to get out of the house, even on my worst days, because i know people are depending on me. I think we should be funded again as whilst it's a great help to me, it's also a damn good show, showing an important positive side of us rather than dwelling on our situations. I hope we'll continue to grow in quality and professionalism and continue to ask awkward questions of our "superiors". I feel Locked On is unique as we talk freely and interestingly. 2011 has been an important year for freedom of speech and it's never free-er than Locked On !"

"I thought my life as an actress was over and my dream of performing again was the only thing that gave me a purpose but it was already gone. I suffer from various mental and physical illnesses that makes my existence very difficult to enjoy. With Locked on radio I have a purpose in life again, I love writing and playing my odd characters, the miserable corner and interviewing people. I can show my capacities as an actress again whilst keep the audience entertained. Due to my illnesses they give me flexibility to record my parts, which is very important to me as there are many days I can't leave the house. I have met amazing people and my social skills have improved a great deal. This radio show is original, completely different to anything out there. After listening to one of my radio sketches I have been offered a part by a film producer! Also I haven't been sectioned or tried to commit suicide since starting to be part of this radio project. It is bringing some stability to my mind and my life. Without Locked on I would be lost again in my darkness and solitude".
