Do you write?
The upcoming radio drama project, Current Frequencies, are calling for submissions. They are seeking diverse stories which explore the issues of our modern world in original and exciting ways. This is a non-profit project done for love of the medium. Scripts should be roughly 15-35 pages long and preferably dialogue-driven, rather than relying on narration.
I recently finished my own piece for this project, the tragic story of a young artist’s descent into heroin, ‘The Colour of Paint.’ I found it a profoundly rewarding experience -- the chance to dip a toe into the foreign and unique style of audio drama. Not only was it my first script, but the sacrifice of description and narration was a fresh and fascinating challenge.
I know there are some absolutely jaw-dropping dramas already in the works for Current Frequencies, and I truly can’t wait for more.
Do you have a story to tell? Or perhaps a script you could convert?
For submissions and further enquiries, contact [email protected] or find them on Twitter @CurrentFrequent
"Serious Mix [Melody] (prod. by Nigel Wright, co-prod. by Nigel Stock & John Davis)" by Mirage
This song is sort of a melody where Kiki Billy, Nocos & Carlos Griffiths sing the choruses to “Serious” (originally by Donna Allen), “Keep Your Eye On Me” & “Diamonds” (originally by Herb Alpert), “What Have You Done For Me Lately” (originally by Janet Jackson), “Looking For A New Love” (originally by Jody Watley), and “Chicago Song” (originally by David Sanborn).
Ethics commissioner says Harper's former chief of staff shouldn't have pressed party to cover senator's bills
Former prime minister Stephen Harper's one-time chief of staff was never prosecuted for his role in Mike Duffy's Senate expenses fiasco but now Nigel Wright is getting a belated slap on the wrist from the federal ethics watchdog.
In a long-awaited report released Thursday, ethics commissioner Mary Dawson says Wright broke both the Parliament of Canada Act and the Conflict of Interest Act when he personally gave Duffy $90,000 to repay the Senate for questionable living expense claims.
By giving Duffy the money as part of an agreement in which the senator was to reimburse the Senate and acknowledge the error of his ways, Dawson says, "Mr. Wright was improperly furthering Sen. Duffy's private interests," sparing him the need to use his own funds. That's a violation of conflict of interest rules.
Moreover, she says Wright broke another section of the act when he used his position as Harper's right-hand man to try to influence Conservative bagman Sen. Irving Gerstein and the Conservative Fund Canada to dip into party coffers to reimburse Duffy's expenses.
Wright never faced any criminal charges for his role in the affair, although Duffy was charged with 31 counts of fraud, breach of trust and bribery. Wright was a prosecution witness during the subsequent trial, which ended last spring with Duffy being found not guilty of all charges.
