your voice podcast
We worked with homelessness charity Accumulate on a series of youth culture oral history podcasts.
How do we record history? And who's story do we consider to be important.
These questions were the starting point for the Your Voice Podcast, a podcasting and oral history training course run in collaboration with Accumulate. Over the course of 6-week programme of workshops around digital media, podcasting and interviewing, we asked participants to find a subject to interview, who they felt had an important story to tell, yet who's voices were not heard or represented.
The resulting collection of audio-visual pieces document a range of youth culture stories. Have a listen below.
The workshop programme was led by Williamz Omope (@photography by accident).
The Accumulate charity provides creative workshops to young, homeless people who are living in hostels or temporary accommodation in London.
