Bristol Community FM Podcasts

Over two years, BCfm Radio recorded 30 oral history interviews for M Shed, part of Bristol Museums, in partnership with the University of the West of England. In this episode, part of the YOUTH interviews, captures the essence of being a teenager and young person in Bristol exploring the city through the eyes of its young inhabitants. Join us as we delve into their experiences, aspirations, and the challenges they face, all set against the backdrop of Bristol's ever-evolving landscape. M Shed informed us on some of the topics and themes that are missing from their archive audio collections, including content on local media outlets, what people do outside of work (leisure), specific groups of people and identities, as well as interviews with teenagers and young people. These 1200 minutes of newly recorded oral history interviews, Bristol For The Record, will be preserved for future generations to learn and consult about various aspects of Bristol life for generations to come.
