The idea for the show is literally taken from the You AreListening To concept. It allows you play both ambient
and drone music alongside the police scanners. It was a no brainer, for me,
once I had heard the way the voices changed the music and the music changed the
voices. The ehteral anonymous soap opera of the concept tickled my fancy.
I had to work out how to do it – was I going to play the
random music from the site? Or curate a soothing movie soundtrack-esque
playlist? How was I going to get the police on the show? We have no live link
in the studio. Would the service let me broadcast? Will it even work!? Who
knew?
Well, it did. The curated playlist is below and you can listen again
by clicking on the play again button up there or on this link. A wee shapshot
of the background behind the scenes work and also how ramshackle the whole
thing was.

If you have any comments, let me know. Here are the people I
need to thank:
