This week the whole episode is dedicated to an outside broadcast, featuring a play held in London called the 1984 diary.

The play took part on 14th March 2007 and was directed by Kavleen Arora and Prubpreet Chaggar.
The cast consisted of multi-talented and multi-ethnic members (students coming together from lots of London Universities).

The play is about self discovery and realisation.

The podcast outlines tragedy of 1984 together with interviews and extracts from the play.

For more information about the play please visit:

The play is the first theatrical production of the collaboration of young sikhs and non-sikhs in London.

In this pursuit, we follow the story of our heroine, Tina, a naive Medical student from London. Tina travels from her home in UK to Delhi in an enlightening trip.
All proceeds from the play will be given to the following charities:

Big question…

Q: Why did the format change from Episode 15?

A: There was a need to introduced additional interactivity and an audio magazine format (including where possible outside broadcast elements). Therefore, from Episode 15 onwards each show follows the following format:

1. Understanding Sikhism

2. History of the Sikhs

3. Shabad Translations

4. Resource Review – incorporating:

- Book of the month (readings / reviews / recommendations)

- Music Reviews/New Music (inc: the featuring of many up and coming artists)

5. Outside Coverage (if attended) – Bringing you recordings of events.

6. Inspirational thoughts, songs or phrases

With the new license and website the programme is also now effectively extended with a centralised Portal/blog site and assoicated tools, for example: Forums, links and online players.
You can hear all the previous shows online too.

Q: What about licencing rules for Podcasters?

Good question, it was only Aug/Sept’06 that both the Mechanical Copyright Protection Society (MCPS) and Performance Rights Society (PRS) worked hard to issue the shared Limited Podcasting Exploitation Licence – Known as LPEL. Sikhwithin have paid for this licence. In reality this means that if Sikhwithin features any song writers and performers their copyright and royalitieswill be protected. This is achieved by the terms of the licence. For example, reporting, monitoring and protecting any tracks from the possibiity of being ripped.

It is your show!

Q: How are the shows put together? In other words, what does it take to develop a Podcast?

With any quality production it is important to research, accredit, script and perform both pre and post production work.

Sikhwithin always quote resources used and also seek permission for communicating externally media/content.

In terms of items needed, these range from the software skills, computer hosting set-up and investment in good quality recording equipment and editing tools.

Although increasingly today more tools are available to develop podcasts it is important to focus accuracy, frequency and informative content. We hope to follow these aims with an underlying goal to use the content developed to help facilitate peace between all of humanity.

How much does each show cost ? ($£!)

Sikhwithin is delivered as Seva (service).

You can also support us by: clicking on the Google ADSENSE advertisements on the bottom of each page: NB: Revenue generated will go to Charity.

You can also make direct contribution at the new site, this would be really appreciated too.
