From 2010 to 2013, Hackney Stream was a live Internet audio presence. We streamed to an Icecast radio server from the computer centre at 52 The Lawns and other acoustically-challenged venues. Equipment was minimal. The production budget was zero. We did not try to make conventional radio programs or build a remote audience. This was all about participation and contribution to local digital culture.

The audience (‘citizens of the pre-digital era’) was in the room, not in virtual space — talking about things they know a lot about, not struggling with alien and ephemeral technology. Every aspect of the live streams was owned and organised by the participants — in their own way, on their own terms. That is our interpretation of ‘digital inclusion’.

So these legacy episodes are repeat recordings of those live events, with little or no editing. We are adding these old tracks gradually — and only those that are useful in the context of discussions about social and digital inclusion. We don’t expect to upload more than six. The current (October 2017) count is two about food — plus one very brief fragment about community computing.
