HEED FM is a twenty-eight-day anonymous sound portrait created through one-to-one and group conversations in Dublin with people aged 18–25 and from all backgrounds.

The sound portrait presents a generation whose opinions and beliefs are rarely heard in the public sphere and who lack institutional advocacy on their behalf. HEED FM shuns preconceptions and de-sensationalises this generation without judgement, giving time and voice to the ambitions, aspirations and passions of those that took part.
