NOTES

Two Places
Friday March 16, 2007

There is an inch of slushy ice on the ground in Philadelphia and going outside means facing sleet that feels like cat litter thrown in your face. Clean cat litter, but still, it ain’t fun.

So standby your radios and computers—here’s two webby places you should be visiting to check out things radio-y. The first being the brand new blog for the drunken and rowdy radio collective Hearing Voices. Any radio producer who’s on the AIR list or has ever received an email from producer Barrett Golding knows that his screeds are highly entertaining, I think particularly because it looks like he forgets that he’s not logging tape when he types. I know there’s lots of snarky opinions on the web, but the producers at Hearing Voices are ones you’ll actually want to hear.

Check out the video below for one of my favorite stories of Barrett’s set to moving images for a planetarium in Minnesota.

The other place is the blog for the Sound of Young America, a podcast favorite that just got picked up by WNYC. I like the blog more than the show, mostly because host Jesse Thorn is saying interesting big picture things about radio on his blog that a lot of us want to say. It’s not that the rest of are afraid to say it, Jesse is just going to say it better. Check out his post on the Public Radio Talent Quest to see what I mean.
