Outlook Mixtape: Rebel radio, the ‘dadvert’ and a kitchen revelation
The clandestine radio station broadcasting in the midst of a civil war, the woman advertising for a father figure and the deep secret shared between a mother and daughter.
This week's mixtape brings you stories of secret communication and celebrates the extraordinary ways in which humans connect.
Georgie Codd never had a dad, so through adverts in newspapers and magazines she started to search for the ideal father. Could there be men out there looking for a daughter?
Carlos HenrÃquez Consalvi, a young journalist, is determined to set up a clandestine radio station to be the voice of the resistance in the midst of El Salvador’s civil war. He launches Radio Venceremos from the guerilla camps, and the national army are furious.
When ‘Ellen’ finally came out to her mother she discovered that nothing was as it seemed and was left carrying another secret for decades. They never spoke of it again.
