In a 2 hour broadcast, What Comes to Mind explore how logistics, supply chains and unseen labour intersect with our personal, intimate lives. The town of Tilbury, Essex acts as a central point of reference; home to the closest international port to London, the historic landing of the Empire Windrush, and the largest Amazon Fulfilment Centre in Europe. This piece includes original writings by Felix Bazalgette.

What Comes to Mind (WC2M) is a semi-regular broadcast project by Hannah Marine and Dani Smith. The project has been resident on Thamesmead-based community station RTM.fm since 2020, and has produced new commissions for Noods Radio and No Bounds.

It explores social history through sound collage, music, archive footage and original material. Equal parts thoughtful and chaotic, it’s referential in its form, sampling a wide range of material to explore the topic at hand.

Much of the spirit of WC2M is how different ideas drift in and out of focus and form connections with each other. It does not aim to be an authority on the given subject but rather a space to embrace a mood or feeling from within a social context.
