Nothing to See Here is a program of experimental spoken word radio produced at NSCAD University and broadcast weekly on CKDU (88.1FM) in Halifax.
The program began in 2016 in regular weekly recording sessions. Participants experimented with a variety of improvisational techniques and the form of the show started to take shape. The first few episodes were based on interviews and improvised radio drama that were designed to sustain a ‘premise’ that determined the theme of the show. Soon regular participants and guests began to write material and the show evolved from episode to episode without a particular formula for how the explorations would materialize.
The show has evolved to explore many aspects of spoken word radio. A core group has been involved in many of the show and regularly contribute while many others have made appearances and contributed to the show (including the cleaners in the building who stumble upon the nocturnal recording sessions and often join in.)
All the episodes are available here at:
