Hey! I am actually free today and tomorrow. Do you want to talk about the radio project? I still need help with squirreling some money.. the school is not giving any, Vocalo will not provide any financial help and CPR is uninterested. Local college radio stations are not willing to give money to a project to buy recorders.

There might be a little ray of hope. Our school's student council may be able to invest not more than five-hundred dollars in the project. They give small seed grants to individuals and clubs.. but they won't be able to give anymore than that.

Let's talk soon!

Depressingly, the project hasn't kicked off yet. I haven't had much luck with local resources, after having talked with Chicago Public Radio and Vocalo.

Do you have any other suggestions for outside financing?

You are amazing! How did you all become radio mouths? I attended Emerson College a milliion years ago and had a show, but this is waaay beyond anything I ever did. My students are doing podcasts and would love, Love, LOVE radio. Teach me!

A Unique Sound



What Intrigues YOU?

Jones Franzel sent me an email the other day; she wrote: "Wanted to send you this review of YouthCast on the Sound of Young America..."  I decided to check it out.  It's a post "Podthoughts" by Colin Marshall about podcasts offered on alt.NPR.  In the post, Colin talks about YouthCast.  Here's a quote: The neat thing is that the pieces are made by high-school- or college-age producers. The less neat thing is that I once again find myself having to break out the term "This American Life-y", which I apply to a regrettably high number of shows.

That made me think...how can we differentiate our style? I have much respect for Ira Glass, but I'm also an advocate for uniqueness. So, what do you think about our podcasts?

Please feel free to share your "Podthoughts!"
