The project encompasses a printed publication, a capsule collection, and a global program of radio broadcasts and events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarhartt WIP Radio launched in 2008, as radio was slowly transitioning from traditional FM to the digital sphere. The premise of the show was simple: an artist or label playing their own music for one hour, accompanied by an interview. Its format has endured, with contributors spanning Europe, North and South America, Asia, Africa, and Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudio Archives was built from the same desire to foster connections through music. For the first time, the project unites 17 independent radio stations from around the world under a single collaborative initiative, amplifying local voices on a global scale. From stations founded in 1969 to those launched post-pandemic, each is unique, yet together they represent an emerging culture that has reshaped our understanding of modern broadcasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIn the publication, also titled Audio Archives, these stations feature across a series of interviews in which they each recount their journeys, while reflecting on the current state of independent radio.
