Recordist's notes

We are with Ralf Grote, behind a window of the “St Barbara Hospital”… or better, one of the large windows of a Radio studio of the “Bürgerfunk” (community radio) of the city. What makes this place so special that Ralf can be found here, often on several evening of the week, after work, making radio. Ralf beginning to tell, and opens the window to the forest… The “Radio Runde Hamm” (RRH) is an open studio, where residents can come to make Radio programmes, or learn how to do it. A group of radio-enthusiasts between 17 and 70 years old is “running the show”, assisting and training new-comers. Ralf Grote is part of this since 1999, today he’s the studio manager… http://www.radiorundehamm.de Wir stehen mit Ralf Grote an einem Fenster der “Barbaraklinik” … oder besser, des Studios der Radio Runde Hamm. Was macht diesen Ort so besonders, dass Ralf hier mehrmals in der Woche abends, nach getaner Arbeit noch hier zu finden ist…? Ralf erzählt und öffnet das Fenster zum Wald…. Ralf Grote ist, wie er sagt “waschechter” Heessener… seit 1999 ist er bei der Radio Runde Hamm. Dem “Bürgerfunk” der Stadt dabei; heute als “Chef vom Dienst”… https://archive.org/details/Nirgends_besser_als_712
