Echoing World Radio Day, L'Atelier des Médias received Alexandre Plank and Anthony Capelli to present the Radiobox project. And the coordinator of Gorilla FM presented this radio which will broadcast in South Kivu, in the DRC.

Publicity

On January 30, in a post published on his Facebook profile , director Alexandre Plank presented "the secret - or half-secret project" on which he is working: the Radiobox . He wrote: " The original idea was rather simple: create a portable radio studio, compact, solid and accessible to all, capable of operating on battery and broadcasting in streaming or FM anywhere and in n no matter what condition. »A prototype exists, it was used at the beginning of February at the Festival wavelength, in Brest, to create an ephemeral radio, Radio Coup de Vent.

Alexandre Plank and Anthony Capelli , who manufactured the latest prototype of the Radiobox, came to present the Radiobox in L'Atelier des Médias and discuss the range of possibilities offered by this object.

A site to find out everything about the Radiobox was under construction when we broadcast this podcast: mkwaves.org

Gorilla FM on the air in DRC soon

We also phoned Alain Bashizi , member of the RFI club in Bukavu (DRC) but also coordinator of the Gorilla FM project. This is the name of a radio station which will start broadcasting on March 20 in South Kivu. On its antenna, it will be about the environment, nature conservation and the fight against climate change. In short, a great project supported by Swiss Cooperation, the RFI Clubs and RFI Planète Radio.
