Greetings programmers!

Are you interested in making women’s centered radio?  KPFA is looking 
for women’s programming for an International Women’s Day special.

International Women’s Day is Sunday March 8, 2020 and KPFA is scheduling 
special programming for that day 6am - 1am midnight.  This year’s theme 
is #eachforequal with a call that an equal world is an enabled world.  
We invite your pitch live and produced 29 minute and 59 minute radio 
programs.

We seek diverse programming that incorporates international women’s 
voices, in a variety of radio programs: Music, Live Music, Public 
Affairs, Poetry, Art, Culture, Radio Theater, for example.  And, we 
encourage and especially seek original, produced audio from women of 
color.  Themes we're also looking for are:

  *

    Women's uprisings in India

  *

    Women's activism in Hong Kong

  *

    Black and Women of Color inclusion/experiences

  *

    The 100^th anniversary of the 19^th amendment-giving women the right
    to vote-this year.

  *

    Girls, childhood

  *

    Trans and Queer inclusion and LGBTQ programs

  * Indigenous produced and themed programming

*If you have an idea for a show, but lack confidence or expertise, send 
us a pitch anyways.  If you don’t have experience producing yet, we will 
try and match people up with an experienced programmer/producer.

The deadline to send in a pitch has been extended to February 7, 2020. 
We will respond to your ideas shortly thereafter.  Finished programs 
must be sent in by February 24, 2020.  Final programs should include an 
intro and an outro and need to be 29 minutes or 59 minutes.  We 
encourage creative, sound rich pitches.

Send us a 1-2 paragraph pitch for your program proposal to 
IWDpitches at kpfa.org <mailto:IWDpitches at kpfa.org>. Here’s some pitch points:

  *

    Be specific, what is it about, what audio or voices will be included?

  *

    Why is it important?

  *

    Be clear whether it’s for a 29 minute show, or a 59 minute show.
    Live or preproduced.

  *

    Be creative-there’s a variety of resources of free audio to use from
    archived audio, like sound effects.  You can also record your own
    sound effects and ambience.

Here’s a few resources to audio that may help you produce compelling, 
insightful and or creative radio for International Women’s Day, 2020.
