Radio Adelaide

We're recording nearly every session at the Festival, so you can hear the sessions you missed and the ones you want to hear again, and everyone can participate through radio broadcast and online audio.

Our recording project is a partnership between the Festival, Radio Adelaide, the University of Adelaide Library, Flinders University Library and the Library of the University of South Australia. Radio Adelaide's team of 10 recordists will be everywhere at the Festival to make sure it has a long life after the event, providing recordings for the Festival website, the Libraries, the ABC and of course our own broadcast and online coverage here.

For more information about the 2011 Festival including detailed biographies of the speakers, visit their website www.adelaidefestivalofideas.com.au
