Mill Radio programmes
This series was created at The Mill Community Centre, Coppermill Lane, Walthamstow, London E17 7HA, and funded first by Markhouse Ward (Walltham Forest Council) and then by the St James Street Big Local Partnership. The money was largely used to pay for room rental at The Mill for our monthly drop-in recording sessions, and also to allow us to give away free audio CDs of each programme for people without Internet access. It ended in August 2017 when we decided to shift our emphasis towards the whole of Waltham Forest Borough and become more pro-active with field interviews and reporting on issues of all kinds affecting the local community, as well as anything else of local interest or concern. This was the point at which we changed our name from Mill Radio to Forest Radio and purchased the domain name 'forestradio.co.uk'. We retained ownership o our original domain name 'millradio.com' so that anybody looking for us under that name would still find us.

First Series
This doesn't form a very coherent series but represents our first few experiments with Internet broadcasting. In 2012 a group of older Waltham Forest residents were invited to take part in a scheme funded by Age UK to undertake a course to train as radio presenters at Waltham Forest College, with a view to creating online programmes for older people to go up on the Age UK Waltham Forest website. For a number of reasons this never happened and we were left with modest presenting skills but no platform from which to broadcast. Hence we formed ourselves into The Waltham Forest Community Radio Group and started recording programmes in one another's homes and interviewing people in the streets ('vox pop') using the website that I (David) already had to present our work, without any formal funding and more or less for nothing. In this way we honed our skills as presenters and sound editors and were eventually offered funding and free room rental by The Mill Community Centre, Coppermill Lane, Walthamstow, London E17 7HA, to undertake a series of oral history style recording sessions (Conversation Mill). This was funded first by Markhouse Ward (Walltham Forest Council) and then by the St. James Street Big Local Partnership, allowing us to become the Internet podcast station calling itself 'Mill Radio', creating somewhat more polished programmes covering the full range of local issues, interests and talents as best we could. The money was largely used to pay for room rental at The Mill where we had our our monthly drop-in recording sessions, and also to allow us to give away free audio CDs of each programme for people without Internet access.
Our more recent history can be found under the 'Mill Radio' column.

Conversation Mill
As the name suggests this was a series of recorded conversations which we undertook with
with the aim or archiving the memories and present-day lives and interests of some of Waltham Forest's residents. It was funded by Markhouse Ward through The Mill Community Centre on Coppermill Lane, Walthamstow, London E17 7HA, and was the beginning of our closer assocoation with this organisation. This was where the recordings were made. The format for each session was a conversation, usually with an agreed topic which might of course be interpreted in different ways, and we could sometimes drift considerably off-topic. Each programme tended to have a different selection of contributors. You can see the way that the programmes developed, from random conversation and almost no other content to more structured and directed conversation broken up with music.
