3. James Cridland on Building a Sense of Community through the Airwaves

James talks about how the power of technology can create a sense of community. He recalls the unifying role the radio played while living in a remote village in Somerset. He then goes on to discuss how a shared appreciation for technology created opportunities for bonding at school. Finally, he details how he has pursued his love of communications technology in the workplace, a journey which has taken him all the way to Australia. “Radio and audio are able to give you an awful amount of community feeling, an awful amount of company, companionship.”*********************Check out the Stories Of Men website for more on this storyWe're also on Facebook, Twitter and InstagramA Fascinate Production
