Blast Beach is a multi-media based project based around and informed by interviews with communities who are living around and/or influenced by Blast Beach, Seaham.

Over a 6 month period, varying individuals were interviewed to create a documentary that highlights the influence of the coast upon the people who live, and are influenced, by it.

In this episode, Geologist David Roberts talks about how the Blast Beach project came about and how the artist and ex-mining communities were crucial to the project. Dr. Adelle Hulsmeier and Jac and Jean (representatives from the East Durham Artist Network) share their experiences of the creative vision and artistic delivery.
