Bristol is more than Brunel, balloons and toppling statues of Edward Colston

BCfm last week announced that we are launching ‘12 Communities 1 Bristol’ - a new local oral history podcast from Marcus Smith, in partnership with Bristol 24/7, Bristol Museums, Bristol Archives, UWE Bristol and funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Each of the 12 episodes will focus on a particular Bristol neighbourhood – Barton Hill, Knowle West, Lawrence Weston, Easton, Fishponds, Hartcliffe, St George, Hillfields, Southmead, Eastville, Stockwood and Avonmouth.

Bristol’s first Community radio Station launches emergency schedule in light of Covid 19 lockdown

Bcfm Radio has acted swiftly following new emergency restrictions for members of the public during the Coronavirus pandemic.

The schedule which included over 70 different shows involving volunteers from across the city had become impossible to operate due to the new social distancing guidelines that would have put both volunteers, members of the public and the NHS at risk.
