The Legendary Peter Fraser
I spent just under an hour this evening being interviwed by a local legend. Peter Fraser MBE came to the 大象传媒 at Pacific Quay so that he could record our conversation as I guided him around the studios and offices. It's intended as a programme piece for , which provides talking newspapers and magazines for blind listeners.
Well, as it turned out. there wasn't much I could tell Peter that he didn't already know. In fact every time we turned a corner there would be someone who knew him or had worked for him. He let slip that some of our staff actually record regular items for Playback.
If you click on you'll be able to read about the background and history of the service and, indeed, about its long associations with 大象传媒 people. It was interesting to hear Peter describe how they have moved from sending out returnable cassettes and then to CDs and now the programmes are available online via their website.
At that point we realised we were both engaged in this great new online audio adventure. I told him about our Zones and he told me about his downloads.
It will be interesting to hear how he'll edit our conversation in a way that doesn't sound like a geek-fest.
