How radio dramas build health awareness – an interview with BBC Media Action by SciDev.Net published on 2015-04-28T10:53:04Z Rachel Aveyard is project manager for Mr Plan-Plan, a BBC Media Action drama series broadcast in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone to help people understand how to protect themselves against Ebola. In this audio interview she talks to Imogen Mathers about producing Mr Plan-Plan and why drama and radio are such important vehicles for making public health information accessible and applicable to people’s everyday lives. She also outlines a few of the logistical barriers to delivering the show to hundreds of partner stations across countries where internet and transport networks are poor or non-existent. And she explains why it is that radio dramas carry a value that extends far beyond the broadcasts themselves. http://www.scidev.net/global/disease/spotlight/ebola-health-emergency-response.html Genre BBC
