RADIO, MIAMI
Created by Momma Tried
"RADIO, MIAMI" is a project that broadcasts poetry across the Greater Miami area during April 2016. Using 15 and 30 second advertising slots on Power96, Shake108, 104.3, and 92.3, RADIO, MIAMI airs short poems in the style of the broadcasting station, “sneaking” the poems into the fabric of Miami’s radio culture and introducing interludes of unanticipated delight, romance, and humor into regularly scheduled programming. In order to maximize the accessibility of the poetry, RADIO, MIAMI utilizes a free service that Miamians already use on a daily basis and seeks to appeal to a diverse range of audiences: baby boomer, 35+, student/young adult, and hispanic/latino populations. Listen for poems on weekdays between 10am and 3pm.
