This bank holiday why not pin a poem to your nearest Neolithic burial site?
Plenty is going on with new features in development and projects being planned, but we’ll call it there. 😌 Follow and share if you or yours might be interested in our work - and once again from the Overhear team @th1nkwr1tefly.bsky.social @kibriyatm.bsky.social & @imtompeel.bsky.social : Hello!
But wait, there's more! With our new in-app recording feature, any Overhear listener can share their work. We’ve made it easy for anybody to record and pin audio to the map wherever they are - and you have complete control over whether its public, between friends or just for you.
We’ve also been having a blast running workshops working with all kinds of people to write and record work inspired by the world around us, from nursery aged kids guiding visitors around a garden to patients on a stroke ward telling us what recovery feels like.
Right now, we have a lot of pins around the Midlands, but we’ve also gone as far flung as Latvia(!) plus there’s new content being added all the time. We have an amazing network of brilliant writers and organisations who have collaborated with us on loads of innovative projects.
Whether it’s poetry inspired by the statues you see every day or a neighbour sharing a meaningful memory from their youth, there’s always something interesting to overhear, and it could help you see your surroundings in a whole new way
Once you get close enough to a pin, the audio will automatically download to your personal library in the app. Press play to enjoy the immersion of listening to something brilliant inspired by the very place you’re standing in - and you can listen again whenever you like!
Overhear is a mobile app where you can discover amazing poetry recordings and oral histories, pinned to locations on the map. See something you’re interested in? Go get it! We want to move people, in every sense of the word.
Hello Bluesky, do you recognise us? Whether you’re an old friend or seeing us for the first time, we think a reintroduction might be in order. Here’s everything you need to know about Overhear! theoverhear.app
