In our second podcast of 2010 we take a look at the volunteering dynamic which drives Greenbelt – the handmade Festival.
We talk to Linda Watson, The Festival's volunteer coordinator, about her role and working with so many volunteers, Chris Parker, Site Manager for the Children’s Festival area, Saga Arpino, heading up the Festival’s Site Vibing Team, Luke Warner, a volunteer in the Box Office Team, and Stuart and Karen Radcliffe, husband and wife volunteers in the Festival’s Operations Team.
