Essex Book Festival has teamed up with Chelmsford Community Radio on a new project, the Essex Book Worm Podcast, supported by Essex County Council’s Cultural Development Project Fund.
A group of young Essex people, aged 13-17 years, have gathered together to learn how to create content, conduct interviews and vox pops, edit and shape material, and record a podcast for broadcast.
They will share their passion for all things books in a monthly podcast to be broadcast on Chelmsford Community Radio.
