Welcome back!
Brainstorm what you know about radio. Evaluate how often you listen to radio programs? What kinds of programs do you listen to generally? Where do you "tune in"? Why? Discuss this for 2-3 minutes with your peers.
Originally, radio was filled with news and entertainment, along with music. Music, of course, has overwhelmed radio and is the most common form of entertainment sent through the airwaves to us. To begin our radio media unit let's take a look at the scripts and listen to the following plays:
Abbott & Costello's: Who's On First, our reading first, then let the professionals do it.
Lucille Fletcher: The Hitchhiker
The first part of Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Then, it's off to the lab to read and interact with the following website:
Jess O'Callaghan's article: "Podcast Nerds Rejoice: Radio Plays Are Making a Comeback"
Please read this linked article. Then answer the 3 questions (turn these in today if we have time, otherwise, it's homework. Complete and turn in by next class.

1. Why does how we listen to radio/podcasts matter according to O'Callaghan?HOMEWORK: Please read part one of the chapter on radio and answer the questions for Monday, January 8. Read the article linked above (0'Callaghan's article) and answer the 3 questions if you didn't complete this work in the lab. Complete and turn in any missing work. Return your radio scripts (bring Hitchhiker's Guide back with you to complete our listening next class...)
2. What kinds of podcasts are "out there"?
3. How are new wave radio plays distinguishing themselves from the old ones? (Abbott & Costello or Lucille Fletcher's Hitchhiker, for example.)
