RADIO CAVOLO 6 WEEKS ON AIR!

Radio Cavolo Newsletter

(April 2020)

For over a month, every weekday Radio Cavolo has been broadcasting a scrumptious schedule filled with original content, content contributed by others and cavolicious music! Thanks to everyone listening in and supporting this great, new project at the EUI. That’s in a nutshell what we’ve been doing. Now, we would love to know more about your listening habits!


We need your opinion!

Did you enjoy any show in particular? You fell in love with one of our DJ’s? Are you tuning in at a specific time of day or do you prefer listening to podcasts when it suits you? Which content are you particularly interested in? Did we make you laugh? Cry? Think?

Any feedback and comments will be extremely useful, so don’t hesitate to drop us line at radiocavolo@eui.eu and let us know when you love listening to Radio Cavolo, when you miss it and whatever else you’d want to chime in!


Feel inspired?

Radio Cavolo has aspired from day one to be an inclusive project, where all members of our community can participate and contribute, both with new ideas and to existing concepts. We look forward to the time where we can actively recruit more people to manage Radio Cavolo and involve people with in-studio production in Villa Salviati.

In the meantime, we can offer you some tips, tricks andtechnical support to create and deliver content. We encourage you to explore your ideas, so feel free to shoot them at us and we will get back to you with what help we can provide.
