The first ever Green Party radio show will launch later this week, after a lifetime non-voter was inspired by Green activists at the recent Occupy Democracy protests. The show will be a live phone-in with questions also taken from Twitter.
Happy Brewer, who has worked in radio and TV for most of his life, will kick off his ‘Mean Green Radio’ this Wednesday afternoon, and will be produced by his radio partner Max Graef. Happy, a lifetime non-voter, was inspired to set up the show after joining together with Green Party activists at the recent Occupy Democracy protests – and by his belief that the Greens are not receiving a fair proportion of media coverage.
‘People are looking for an alternative’, Brewer said. ‘So the Greens need a proper forum to get their views across’.
Despite only launching on Twitter a few days ago, the ability to ask upcoming participants has proved popular already, with questions flooding in.
The show’s format will be a live phone-in, with questions from Twitter too.
Asked whether it will be a regular feature, Brewer said ‘I’d happily do it weekly – from small seeds grow great oaks!’
On the Greens’ rise, he commented: ‘Someone has lit a touch paper – it’s kicking off.’ The show will therefore be a great tool in the Green Party armoury – as well as a chance for discussion and debate.
Bright Green is pleased to exclusively announce that the show will be hosted on k2kradio.com on Wednesday 26th from 4-6pm.
