Notes 1. Of these radios, twenty-two are owned and run by the state, eight by the Catholic Church, one by a municipality and twenty-six are owned by communities and run by community associations. 2. These seventy-eight women came from the thirty-nine radios on air in July 2003 to identify dreams and challenges, to agree on ways forward, and to celebrate the increasing spread of community radio in Mozambique: a space for development interaction, for dialogue and debate, and for change—not least for women. Very symbolically the “Red Cross Centre” in Chimoio where the festival took place was developed towards the end of the long period of civil war and internal conflict, to rehabilitate the many children who had been used in the conflict, among others, as soldiers. Having passed this traumatic part of Mozambique's history, it is symbolically very strong to see here the women using the same facility to fill the new Mozambique with hope for a better tomorrow. 3. When you enter Metangula after driving 3 hours north from Lichinga, the provincial capital of the northern province of Niassa, you meet one sign, the only commercial posted at the road at all, reminding you to tune in to the “Radio Lago, 106.7 Mhz,” and telling you that, by the way, you are now in Metangula (as if you did not know after struggling with potholes for more than an hour... just because you want to go to... Metangula). Normally the sign is alone. But my guide, Grace, listening to the programme on air at the time on her small transistor, wanted to be in the picture, as did two young men passing. 1. Fremlin was not identified by name in War Factory, but is named by Kirkham (1995 Kirkham, Pat. 1995. “Beauty and duty: keeping up the (home) front”. In War Culture: Social Change and Changing Experience in World War Two Britain, Edited by: Kirkham, P. and Thoms, D. 13–28. London: Lawrence & Wishart. [Google Scholar], p. 16). 2. In November 1940, Listener Research reported that the average morning audience was 4,700,000 at home and 750,000 in factories, while in the afternoons an average of 3,200,000 listened at home while 150,000 listened in factories (BBC Listener Research 1940b BBC Listener Research (1940b) ‘Weekly report no. 15, week ending 30 November 1940’, BBC WAC R9/1/1 [Google Scholar]).
