The final idea we had chosen was a show on fixed gear bikes, after discussing this with Leticia, we came to the conclusion that although our idea was good it was lacking in content. We were given advice and ideas, and have decided to base our show on frugal living, taking it back to the easy life, incorporating many things into our show. Our show will include the following components;
Life Hacks- How to improve your life with the simple things, e.g. turning a hoody into a laptop bag. http://www.lifehack.org/ helped us with this topic, it gave us some ideas of things that we would be able to do live in studio with our presenter.
Fixed Gear Bikes- As this had been part of our original idea we decided to keep it in, even though we had shortened what we could do with it. Gareth has a great interest into this and has taken it to look up information on it.
The next part I can't think of a title to use, but essentially we're using the means we have to fill our show. We have friends involved in the art scene who take old things and renew them into better things. 2 of the 3 don't have information up online about the things that they do.
However our studio guest Meabh De Burca will be talking to us about her projects in which she takes old rubbish and transforms it into beautiful things, such as turning old plastic bottles into lampshades.

This is her website some examples of her work are on here.
"I aim to show the endless possibilites of these everyday overlooked material, to reclaim them from becoming waste and to give them a new significance."
This qoute in some ways helps to describe our show, it's also the qoute Meabh uses to describe her work.
