The podcast Réverbérations d'une crise: Sounding the Housing Crisis brings together a series of compositions, on the border of audio documentary and radio art, articulating the more experimental aspects with analysis and discursive contributions (interviews, presentation of the process underlying the project, etc.). This is where the more reflexive and analytical dimension of the project is unfolded. Some episodes will be broadcasted on CKUT 90.3 FM.
