Radio Lear, known as Leicester Emergent Arts Radio, is a volunteer-driven community radio station and creative media project broadcasting from Leicester. The initiative foregrounds metamodern sound and experimental audio practice, blending creative music, sound art, storytelling and discussion in formats that challenge conventional broadcast structures. Radio Lear provides a platform for local artists, producers and community participants to co-create innovative content, podcasts and sonic experiences that reflect contemporary culture and emergent creative practice. It operates with a ethos of inclusivity, experimentation and participatory engagement rather than commercial mass-audience programming.
