Narrowcast tapes have longer shelf-life. Antenna collects the materials from the broadcasts and compiles them into audio tapes for wider distribution. Antenna has produced 18 issues of the listening magazine since its inception. Last year, five were produced with coverage on land rights, water and sanitation and community mediation issues. Antenna also produces Yaatrapatrika for long distance bus. Antenna has so far produced four tapes for long-distance bus. The Travel-Magazines as they are called contain light episodes of MAHA Adaalat/Chautari and other information useful for bus travellers. Antenna believes that that the bus travellers will be good agents of conflict transformation messages.

Other listening magazines include cassettes focused on high altitude porters, community mediation, land conflicts and widows and single women. These audio tapes are produced for listener group and other specific target group. These cassettes are distributed through listeners’ clubs, like minded organizations working in conflict resolution and organizations working in the peace-building areas. Yaatra Patrika or traveling magazines are distributed through drivers and owners of long distance bus companies. These cassettes are then played inside the bus during journey.
