Hello! Welcome (back) to All Hear, the Everything List for Audio Opportunities.
I’m back in London for the next few months before my final term of clown school. I am loving every second of the summer break — I definitely did not appreciate holidays like these back when I was at school. My friends keep asking me what a clown is, and I’m still not 100% sure.
This month, Transom’s intern and All Hear researcher Hussain Khan has found a bunch of interesting artist residencies. Other large-scale opportunities of note include the Amazon Regional Creatives Fund, which offers £1000 to £30,000 of funding for U.K. charities which are upskilling people from underserved communities for careers in creative industries, and the EU Audio Reporting Programme, €4.5 million of funding supporting the independent production of innovative audio formats reporting on European issues.
All Hear is free and always will be. If you want to show your support you can buy me a coffee or donate to Transom, which helps keep this resource-intensive work sustainable.

I’m continuing to Spotlight some manifestos and articles from those speaking at the Transom 25 festival, this month highlighting a manifesto from the team behind the podcast You Didn’t See Nothin (one of the best podcasts I’ve ever heard). The manifesto is a thoughtful conversation between the makers, Sarah Geis, Yohance Lacour, Dana Brozost-Kelleher, Erisa Apantaku and Bill Healy.
