Soundart Radio is regulated by Ofcom broadcasting live on 102.5 FM and online 24/7. We run a membership scheme which is open to all align to our values and purpose.

We began in 2006 as an experimental student radio station at Dartington College of Arts. In 2009 we became the community (and still experimental) radio station for Dartington and Totnes.

We’re creating opportunities and a range of community benefits, both on-air and off-air, for the wider community and in doing so, we achieve the following objectives:

• facilitation of discussion and expression,
• provision of education or training,
• better understanding of the particular community and the strengthening of links within it.

Regular events

We hold a Friday Social every week from 5pm until 10pm at the studio with a licensed bar, hot vegan food, ping pong and live, on-air DJs.

Our Values

• We widen access to media and create positive change in society

• We are a safe and welcoming space, and actively promote the perspectives of marginalised and vulnerable people

• We respect the environment and use resources with care

• We value creative freedom, experimentation with radio form, and collaboration

• We take care of ourselves, one another, and the radio station.

Our remit is to promote arts and music, reflect the local community, create new formats and styles of radio programmes and to provide time and space for experimentation and creative risk.

• In depth discussion programmes and long conversations
