🌱 Freshers can be an uncertain time in an unknown place. If the prospect of following the crowd as they stumble from student bar to student club doesn’t pique your curiosity, Glasgow’s finest community freeform station have created an alternative rebirthing for your new journey at uni. On Wednesday 18th September, Glasgow’s fabled Art School will be transformed into Subcity Radio’s Ecotopia. Each of the three rooms will have its own unique DJs and production, with something for everyone — from the luscious natural reverberations of the Vic Bar, the throbbing hum of the Assembly Hall’s mainframe upstairs, to the weird and wonderful possibilities of the Project Space at the top of the building. 🌱

Nedd, Palm Wine, the Gorbals Youth Brass Band and Bill Wells, Dakim, Micheal LaCour, Nena Etza, Myriam Van Imschoot and Doreen Kutzke, Sholto Dobie, Humming Dogs and more. Listen back to all these interviews below:
