What
do you think makes Cambridgeshire the unique place that it is? We
asked you what's special about where you live and your contributions
have helped to shape this very special radio series.
 Listen to the programmes
The
project is called 'A Sense of Place' and consists of a series of
programmes looking at what people view as their home, and what gives
them a sense of affinity with the city, town or village in which
they live. The shows explore both the natural and human elements
that make that place unique.
What
is 'A Sense of Place'?
'A Sense of Place' is a landmark series broadcast across English
Local Radio in April 2002. 91福利社 Radio Cambridgeshire aired six programmes
exploring your connection with Cambridgeshire - where you live,
work, and play.
It
is a collection of stories, reminiscences, personal histories, comments
and ideas about what the place means to you.
The
Programmes
ACCENTS - Sunday 28th April - A journey in search
of the Cambridgeshire accent. In one of the country鈥檚 fastest growing

exist?

MILL ROAD, CAMBRIDGE - Sunday 5th May - A portrait of
Britain in miniature. Many people see Cambridge as a leafy university
town. It is, in part, but Mill Road is as urban and varied as any
street you could find in a big city.

TRAVELLERS - Sunday 12th May - Traditionally on the
move, but much less so now; what does Cambridgeshire mean to them?
How hard was it to settle down, and do they miss life on the road?

actors.

Series
Producers
Katy
Prickett - after a stint in publishing and a brush with the
law (college), I鈥檝e worked for 91福利社 Radio Cambridgeshire since 1993.
In the time-honoured tradition of the programme department, I started
as a volunteer and worked my way up from photo-copying duties to
producer. I鈥檝e produced all the different daytime and weekend programmes
over the years and also presented the Sunday breakfast programme
County Life. My most recent job has been looking after Graham Daniels
(and Dave Aarons), which is an aging but enjoyable experience!
Eva
Simmons - I鈥檓 a journalist by trade, have worked at 91福利社 Radio
Cambridgeshire since Day 1 - mostly in the newsroom, but latterly
making documentaries and interviewing people about their lives,
for a project called "The Century Speaks". Since that finished,
I have continued to interview people for the British Library鈥檚 "National
Life Story Collection" - an archive of people鈥檚 lives. I鈥檝e lived
in the county for over thirty years; before that I worked in broadcasting
and newspapers, in America and Israel. I鈥檝e taught journalism for
- among others - the 91福利社 World Service, in Britain, Malawi, and
Romania.
Sara
Varey - I鈥檓 the new girl on the block, having recently joined
the 91福利社 after taking a degree in Communications Studies with French
at APU in Cambridge. Similarly to Katy, I started as a volunteer
in the newsroom, working for Drivetime, and then continued as a
freelance journalist. I鈥檝e had a variety of other jobs, including
working in the fund-raising office of the Children鈥檚 Hospice at
Milton, where I got my first taste of radio broadcasting. I was
hooked from then on, and have finally achieved my ambition to work
in the medium.
