Rádio Jardim is an independent mobile community radio airing from Porto, Portugal, dedicated to explore questions like: What is this person listening? What might a field recording from this place reveal? Is there a "listening scene" in this town? By transmitting a diverse array of sounds, Rádio Jardim acts as a catalyst for celebrating difference. It hosts in-person events that unite communities around sonic experiences.
The radio goes live each month, exploring different locations, presenting a curated program that blends various styles and perspectives.
In general terms, Epicurean ethics is a search for constant pleasures and a peaceful life, retreating to a safe place and finding the necessary social support among friends. Would there be a better place than a garden away from the center to practice this thought?
A city is shaped by its diverse people—the ones born and raised there, those who chose it as their home, and even those just passing through, living in a globalised world. It includes those who see Porto as a place of refuge, whether temporary or permanent. Rádio Jardim aims to bring these people together, uniting listeners and providing them with a platform to share what they are keen to sonically explore.
Participants are invited to record the sounds of a specific location and create a 60-minute track, which will be broadcast at the start of each live transmission.
The core segment of each transmission's programming features a 60-minute musical selection presented by each host. Hosts are encouraged to provide context or commentary to enhance the listener's experience, ensuring that the focus remains primarily on the music.
Sometimes, context allows us to notice details we had never considered. In this type of program, a guest takes the audience on a journey through an album, compilation, or collection of sounds, using their unique perspective as a guiding compass.
