About The People Speak
The People Speak is a set of ideas, technologies and strategies we've developed for bringing people together to have conversations and discussions in an open-ended and fun way. We design events, architectures, systems and processes in which people are encouraged to express themselves, share ideas, flirt, and be as creative as they can.
More information about our projects, or "tools" can be found on the project websites (see below), or on the "about" page, and an overview of "The People Speak Tool kit" is also available in this downloadable information pack (pdf 600k)

Traffic island discs
Sounding out the city
Traffic Island Discs is a radio programme about music, people and spaces. We roam the streets looking for people wearing headphones, stop them, and interview them while recording whatever they are listening to. The result is a half hour tour of an area of London, heard through people's personal tastes and rhythm.
