Mass media such as radio blurs the distinction between the public and the private. This article explores the gendered soundscape of a participatory radio campaign in Northern Uganda, which aimed to empower women and initiate debates on gender norms, including gender-based violence, teenage pregnancy, and women’s entrepreneurship. Draw-ing on feminist critiques of the public and private spheres, we explore the impact of radio on women’s empowerment. Ethnographic research found that participatory radio has the capacity to create a sense of community, an ‘intimate public sphere’, and critical consciousness about denied choices as a condition for further empowerment. Participatory radio also provides opportunities for women to deliberate and express opinions on public matters. The instances of political participation facilitated by the radio described in this paper exemplify feminist critiques of the supposed boundary between public and private activities. This paper thus encourages a rethinking of what counts as political engagement, recognising that inti-mate, everyday acts can contribute to promoting democratic participation and deliberation. However, radio’s impact is ultimately dependent on access to and control over technology, political institutions, and public social life – which women typically have less of – and the receptiveness of institutions and structures to popular change.

Radio, in the era of new media convergence, has found a perfect place in the space of interactive media. Acceptance practices of audience have changed, because multimedia imply asynchronism, individualization, hypertextuality. The sound environment, the audiosphere, becomes the space of experience, the field of interactive reception events in which action is a constitutive element. In addition, artistic broadcasting gains new media, with the help of which it is possible to participate interactively in the course of the phonic story, which raises questions about the transformation of audio art in the culture of interaction. The listeners gained the possibility of individually adapting the audio content to their own needs and requirements, also in the art of sound. In this article, the considerations will be focused around the specifics of the interactive audio play The Inspection Chamber produced by BBC. The aim of the article is to indicate a new creative approach taking place in the audio art and to characterize its features on the example of The Inspection Chamber in the context of the audio turn. The basis for the goal is to answer research questions about the place of sound art in interactive culture, the specificity of interactive audio theatre.

Doba mediów interaktywnych, poszukiwanie alternatywnych metod otwarcia dzieła prowadzi do zaistnienia utworów w pełni audialnych, jednak interaktywnych. Powstają słuchowiska bazujące na „polu zdarzeń”, w ramach którego odbiorca podejmuje interakcje z dziełem. Celem artykułu jest wskazanie nowego podejścia twórczego w sztuce audialnej, omówienie specyfiki interaktywnego słuchowiska The Inspection Chamber produkcji BBC w kontekście zwrotu audytywnego oraz poznawczo-edukacyjnego potencjału dzieła.
