[grc] IWD 2020 Call for Pitches

[Christina Aanestad]

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 - 12am 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 that incorporates 
or considers themes like:

  *

    What does a gender equal and enabled world look like for women?

  *

    Rape Culture

  *

    Women’s resilience

  *

    Deconstructing Feminism — womanism, black feminism, international
    feminism

  *

    Black and Women of Color inclusion/experiences

  *

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

  *

    Motherhood

  *

    Girls, childhood

  *

    History of Feminism-Feminism 101

  *

    Trans and Queer inclusion

*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 is February 1, 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.

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.
