Voiceover Opportunities
A new podcast series is seeking students with storytelling skills to bring poetry and prose to life. Lacuna Magazine, based at Warwick Law School’s Centre for Human Rights in Practice, publishes stories and photojournalism from around the world, exposing injustice and promoting human rights.
The new podcast series will showcase articles and creative content by award-winning journalists as well as new writers, covering issues including equality, hunger, conflict and protest. Two of the first poems we’ll be recording can be found here and here.
