ABOUT:
CKDU is proud to take the radio to the streets again this year, for
the annual Homelessness Marathon, broadcast from Vancouver, Montreal and
Halifax. Listeners are encouraged to participate in Canada’s largest
discussion on poverty, housing and homelessness. Audience members will
be welcomed to make comments, share their stories, and sing songs.
What is the Homelessness Marathon?
Every year, the Homelessness Marathon serves up 14 hours of
people-powered radio, broadcast on nearly 40 radio stations across
Canada. With the goal of being a consciousness-raising event, the
Marathon will provide an opportunity for homeless people and their
allies to take to the airwaves, and allow a nationwide discussion on
homelessness issues and possible solutions.
CKDU 88.1 FM will be broadcasting live from the St. Matthews United
Church from 7 pm to 10 pm. St. Matthew’s Church is also the site of the
Out of the Cold Emergency Shelter.
History:
The Homelessness Marathon was founded in 1998 by Jeremy Weir Alderson
(aka “Nobody”) as an offshoot of his regular radio program, “The Nobody
Show,” broadcast weekly on WEOS, an NPR-affiliate in Geneva, NY. “That
first year, I was just thinking of it as a matter of conscience,”
Alderson says. “Basically, I just wanted to get on the air and say,
‘This isn’t right, and I want no part of it,’ and, of course, I wanted
to bolster this argument with the opinions of experts and the voices of
homeless people.” He got the idea of broadcasting from outdoors in the
dead of winter, he says, because he wanted to dramatize the plight of
people with nowhere to go in the cold.
Past Panelists on CKDU’s Homelessness Marathon:
Wayne McNaughton, anti-poverty activist
Jocelyne Tranquilla, Nova Scotia Common Front for Affordable Housing
Rene Ross, Stepping Stone
Gladys Radek, Walk 4 Justice
Jordan Roberts, Out of the Cold Emergency Shelter
Megan Leslie, Halifax MP
Artists of Creative Spirits East, Veith Street Gallery
Tom Hirst, former member, Halifax Coalition Against Poverty
Kendall Worth, Street Feat newspaper
