Passing This Along: The Hidden City

Rec'd via email: Thought those of you who want to know might want to know.

So here's the scoop.......DNTO's pop culture professor and neurotic jock, Nick Purdon, is working on a brand new radio show - and he needs your help!

But first, some background. The show is called "Hidden City," and it willl air this summer on CBC Radio One. The idea is to explore the hidden things - unwritten rules - behaviours - and activities that most of us don't notice but are integral to life in the city. It is about exploring the life of that unique human creature known as the "urbanoid."

One of our episodes is about noise in the city, and we're interested in exploring it at the micro-level - as in, the noise that drives neighbours crazy. We're looking for people who are currently at war with a neighbour about loud music, barking dogs, shrieking kids, or any of the gazillions of noises that drive the modern urban dweller batty. We want people who've been feuding for a while. People who've tried to reach out to their neighbour, to no avail. People who are at their wit's end. If anyone knows such a person (or maybe it's you!) then we'd love to hear from you! Please email me, Sara Tate, at sara_tate@cbc.ca with the subject line "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!!"

Maybe we'll even be able to help you solve your noisy neighbour problem. We look forward to hearing from you!

Merci,
The Hidden City team.
