I would say try and get the best equipment you can borrow it from friends and neighbors and teachers and schools. If you have to learn the equipment know how to use it get used to working at so you feel familiar with it and strive for Quality. Don't be afraid to write and rewrite script, you know, if you are not satisfied with it try writing it over again or triadic something and use the music sound effect because with subtlety and it's a little bit of fact you can come up with a really fine show.Except for the fact that he lived at the Grecian urn apartment house and that he worked at the new Centerville Plastics plan. There wasn't much a person could tell a stranger about mr. W Smith. He had no friends around here is what I said his room at all except to catch the bus to work every morning. So that's why I programs from Dan Brooks a former Minnesota winner of the young people's radio festival and an excerpt from a national festival winner by David Allan derlacki of Erie, Pennsylvania. Good morning and welcome to home for the weekend brought you this morning with a financial assistance of the State Bank of Redwood Falls and Otto Bremer Foundation of st. Paul with Vicky sturgeon in Dale Conley. I'm Kim Hudson and this morning we especially want to welcome young people between the ages of 6 and 18 who may be listening to our broadcast for the first time as potential participants in the young people's radio Festival sponsored jointly by krsw and National Public Radio.Our program this morning is about the creative use of sound some basic pointers and some examples and we think that anyone who enjoys radio will enjoy this program. So do stay tuned. Getting a tax audit. That's incredible. I can't believe it. The young people's radio Festival is an opportunity for young people to write direct and produce their own radio programs prizes will be awarded in each of three categories primary for young people ages 6 through 10 Junior for young people ages 11 through 14 and Senior ages 15 through 18. The best local submission will be sent on to National Public Radio for judging at the national level will talk more about contest rules and procedures at the end of the program. But our main purpose today is to tell you a little bit about how radio programs are produced and to provide some examples of the kinds of material. That one is likely to hear on public radio not for you to imitate but primarily to give you some idea of the range of possibilities. Of course in the limited time we have available this morning. We can only just beginning to scratch the surface of the possibilities you might wish to explore in your radio programs, and we certainly can't anticipate all the questions you might have. For this reason I want to stress at the beginning that you're welcome and indeed you are urged to call us and or visit us here at our Studios for information advice or assistance on your radio project will give you our address and telephone number later in the program. So be ready for that. Sound is all there is to radio. That seems so obvious that it shouldn't be necessary to say it. But because sound is all there is you have to pay a great deal of attention to sound more than you ordinarily do as you go about your daily activities sounds were barely conscious of because your brain ordinarily filters the mount may be so loud on your tape that they will ruin an otherwise excellent recording I once did a story on the eradication of smallpox before it was printed in the New York Times and that story was rejected by national public radio because there was an air conditioner droning away in the background and I didn't even notice it when I was recording. On the other hand sounds you think you would recognize anywhere. Sometimes just don't work on tape actual wind. For example just sounds like mush if you can record it at all. I'd lie enough wind and many other sound effects actually have to be faked in order to sound real but sound is what brings radio to life painting a picture with sound is what makes radio special whether you're doing a news story or a drama or a documentary of Music featuring satire an interview, whatever. Much of the work we do here at krsw is on the production of feature stories for radio newscast. Here are a few brief examples of how sound has been used to help. Tell the story. This is how a late August rain sounds to a Southwest, Minnesota cornfield. Unfortunately for this field the rain has come to Lake nearly six weeks of bone dry weather in mid-summer have resulted in started ears on some stocks incomplete ears on others. The farmer who owns this field which lies next to a gravel Section Road north of Slayton. Minnesota will be lucky to realize half an average yield not far south for the soil is heavier farmers will do better but not far north where the soil is like in Sandy some have already cut their ruin the corn to use for silage. Yukon Fun experience for me this way I'm away from my studio. I'm out beating some more people. It's just a very nice thing. I enjoy it every everybody. That's that's come has got a chance to blow glass they wanted to so that's not a jet engine. You hear. It's a portable furnace inside. It is the molten glass dick Huss and Craig how used in their glass blowers Workshop. Revenge by half inch the Italians had bocce ball England had the croquet and Belgium developed. It doesn't look like the home of a national tournament. But Marshall is the place to be when rolly bowly enthusiasts gather to choose their Champions. I asked Bob Johnson of Marshall a member of the Rollie Pollie tournament committee to explain the origin of rollie pollie in the 15 16 17 centuries when the kings were not it's really good of us all. In the morning to hear to you all day all night, and it's great. You're burning all the time. Going to bother the partner say hi to work. Yeah, I think you you might call it a sport because I certainly muscular activity of olives. And that's how we met and got married and we go with us to the total activity that you can spread out every night of the week to you're around if you want to go look at the square dance still a few jobs in Rural America. However, which have been changed relatively little by modern technology and if you searched diligently on the Farm Fest grounds, you could even find a Craftsman or two who still makes a living in a relatively on mechanized way. For example, I happened to stumble on 20 year old Marcus Vick of Granite Falls Minnesota. It was a farrier that is to say he shoes horses the fire in Vicks portable Forge made his lean to shelter next to the post office. One of the pleasanter places on the Farm Fest grounds that damn chili day. So I stayed to watch a make a horseshoe. It was a punt shoe and to talk about his crap. What led you to take up such an ancient art? So young and I couldn't think of anything decent to do so, my mother suggested that I take of horseshoeing and I took your suggestion and here I am. Telephony has modernized and turning the crank wasn't exactly all that much fun, but it sure worked okay to get the operator and get your call at the people have a very short waiting time and our prayers do get busy or if you want on long-distance. That was something else. Nobody got a long distance calling those days it seemed unless somebody had died and when anyting anybody rang on the line after 9, everybody else came on the line to see what was going on because I figure some awesome tragedy that happened or some real good piece of news to listen to him. Even that is changed now. It is a bad thing to listen on a line and we usually don't have very many party lines left, but way back when that was your newspaper besides picking up the necessary news. You could pick up a lot of soap opera type gossip to Bob Riddell the telephone man of Belgium and Wild Wing, Minnesota. I'm Dale kindly sure enough you are Dale cuddling. How about describing for us? How you went about producing that last piece? We just heard? Okay. I originally found out about it in the newspaper. There was an article about Bob Riddell and I thought it was interesting. So the first thing I did was find his phone number and I gave him a call and talk to him about it a little made an appointment to go see him and spend an afternoon there or just went up talk to him for a while. We found a place in his home where it was nice and quiet and we we talked about his phone company in the body's phone collection and then he showed me all of his phones and I recorded all the sound effects than the switchboard sound the sound of the individual telephones. Brought it back here. Listen to everything I had on tape then but how long a conversation did you have? When I think it probably ran about 45 minutes on today on tape and I would have got down to about four or five minutes so it took a while but if you go through and listen to the things that are really interesting in the things that really catch your ear then then it's not too bad out of a 45-minute conversation. Probably there are about four or five really good minutes if you want to use how do you decide which elements to keep and which ones to throw out? Well, you have to realize I'm a story like that that you can't get too involved. He told me a lot of things about his phone company they were interesting but they were just so deep into the whole subject. I couldn't possibly cover it in 45 minutes. So just the very general things what he was doing how he felt about it and so forth that's important and then if it sounds good to your ear if it's interesting, Can you use it after I had chosen which which parts of the conversation to use was just putting them on tape transferring them over to 3/4 inch and then mixing in the sounds of the telephone and a switchboard along with my voice. I guess the whole process took several hours at least probably a full work day if I had done it all at once. You said you got the idea for the story out of the paper. Where do you get most story ideas? Most of them come out of the newspaper. Some of them come from conversation with people, you know, I very rarely get anything from television. What are the things I hear on the radio? Sometimes keep me in but mostly it's it's the newspaper and from there. You can expand on any idea you get through conversation with people. What sort of story catches your eye you might save 50 stories in the newspaper in any given day. So how do you choose one to follow up? Well for a feature type of story, it's always something that's out of the ordinary something. It's very different and something that you very rarely see anywhere. The telephone story was one how many people do you know who own their own telephone company and how many people have 150 telephones in their basement? Not very many. It's just very very unusual and that's the kind of thing that you look for. Another thing was the Dundee nothing days celebration. It wasn't anything they were doing it was unusual. But the title of it everybody does nothing everybody doesn't have time. Right? Right, but that they would all get together and call it. Nothing day was unusual and interesting and that's what made it a story what I hear you saying is that you're thinking really in terms of your audience, but would be unusual and interesting to them not necessarily to the person you're interviewing right in and I can use myself and you Vicky and the people that I come in contact with everyday to find out what would be unusual and if I mention to you that there's nothing Day celebration in and you your eyes widened then I know that from for most of our listeners anyway, that would be up and unusual topic to cover now. I know the criteria for choosing stories in my eyes white. DSW. Thank you very much. This is the age of the cassette machine and radio most of our field recordings here at krsw are done with cassette machines and chances are a cassette deck will be the basic piece of recording equipment for many if not most of you so let's spend a few minutes talking about cassette machines and microphones. The one that I'm using right now has five buttons rewind stop play fast forward and record some machines. We have one of them has one additional controller pause button. You have to watch out for that one. If you can come in very handy if you want to clean start when recording or playing back but it is also very easy to leave the pause control on accidentally when you want to be taping something and of course the tape doesn't move. So if your machine has a pause control be sure to check to see if it's off when you were recording. I speak from experience painful experience most machines. Also require you to press the record and play buttons at the same time. If you want to record make sure to double-check and see the both buttons are engaged when you are recording or once again blank tape. Speaking of tape what time should you use the particular brand doesn't matter a great deal. There are several very good ones, but don't use cheap tape. You'll just get a cheap sound we use a so-called low-noise tape that is widely available and not terribly expensive and get quite good results. It's the five for a dollar specials that I think you should really watch out for Once you've practiced using recorder a few times, I don't think you'll have too much trouble with it. The thing you have to pay attention to all the time though is the microphone the way you handle the microphone will make a big difference in the sound of your tape. So don't be too casual about your use of this crucial piece of equipment. Now first of all, mini cassette decks have a built-in microphone and you should avoid it like the plague. I'm sure I don't know why they put those things there in the first place because this is what they sound like. Are they pick up all the sound? All right, but they're solidly embedded in the body of the recorders of the main sound. You can probably hear it. Here is the sound of the recorders motor and incidentally the other sound doesn't come across very well either. So if your tape sounds like this, the chances are either your external microphone is not plugged in at all, or it's plugged into the wrong jack. So again if you hear this sound take two Now what our field recordings we use a special professional quality microphone rather than the one which is normally supplied with the cassette deck. However, even those little plastic microphones can do a fairly decent job if handled with care and on the other hand you can do a lousy job with a really expensive mic if you're careless enough. One of the first rules is holding microphone steady. Most microphones you're likely to use eye sensitive to movement of the cord movement of your hands and fingers on the barrel of the mic and other sources of physical shock. This can produce a most unpleasant rumbling sound which may destroy and otherwise smashing piece of tape. Sometimes it simply can't be avoided altogether. I can't avoid it altogether, but it should be kept to an absolute minimum if you can use a stand so that your hands don't have to touch the mic and put the stand on a piece of carpet or phone. So shot noises aren't transmitted through the floor table. Another rule is work clothes as close as you reasonably can to the Sound Source unless you want and off mic sound for a specific reason. I'm coming into the room. You might have them start off Mike and then come up close. Related rule is watch out for background noise. Sometimes you want background noise for atmosphere. So it doesn't always desirable to go into a quiet room and shut the door. But if the background become so dominant that it's difficult for The Listener to understand what he's supposed to be hearing then you're in trouble. The way to minimize background noise problems is again to work quite close to the microphone. The recorders automatic gain control will compensate for the increased level of the foreground and diminish the level of the background the louder the background the closer. You need to work with your mic. Have a good trip to Ellis. Another piece of advice is if you're working out of doors avoid windy situations wind blowing on a microphone sounds less like wind in like some kind of an earthquake if you must work outside in the winter and position your body between the wind and the mic and again work as close as you can to the microphone. But if it's a typical Prairie Wind, you're probably still going to have some problems. So far we talked a lot about sound and I may have left many of you feeling that elaborate sound effects are essential to a good piece of radio. Of course, that's not true. And interesting voice. Well recorded telling a good story that maybe all the sound you need. You probably don't know or remember the earthquake in San Francisco in the big earthquake in San Francisco 1978 somewheres in there. Brother Rick prices the whole city out there. And the only source of information is as it is acute viral came through the through the telegraph wires at the Depot. And it matters leave a hunting or steeple agent and Ivan, and he got the message. You heard it over the wires. This is San Francisco have been destroyed by earthquake, and he called me app for telephone. And told me what he'd heard on the radio and he said I thought I'd tell your bill. So if you want to put a little story in your paper way it was either so I think on Wednesday in my paper came out on Tuesday. Well, I thank you much as I appreciate that. I don't know how to fix something from story. And I run a great big head across the front page by paper to roll up a nautical there's something touching. I told me about the earthquake and on Tuesday morning when the paper was in the post office can people get mad. I was in there because I know it I knew I hadn't said a word to anybody. I never told a single soul and he said he wouldn't either so he and I were the only two in town. Know about the earthquake in San Francisco on Tuesday. I have no tires came out and hear the people got the Ivanhoe times as far as be heading in there and I was it I came in the post office in the word. What's this all about? What where did you get all that information? And then I had to confess. I got it over the wires and called me up and told me about it that posted so I beat the daily papers have been but I beat him to it. I want some chocolate about that because I got to jump on to the deathless turbulence. I think that story by Ivanhoe editor William Johnson who was 90 at the time that it was recorded as beautiful radio beautiful sound full of pleasure and emotion. All it needs is an introduction and a close. It would be a complete. Peace and I'd love to see some entrance considered portraits of older people stories of the past family histories as possible material for the contest. A project such as that or many others that you might want to consider involve doing interviews. Although the sound problems are not complicated a good interview is in my opinion. One of the more difficult things radio producer has to do technically about the only thing you have to remember is to keep the microphone close to your subject about a foot away and pointed toward yourself when you ask a question, but the question that's the tricky part you should go into an interview situation with a pretty good idea of what do you want to talk about but all the preparation in the world won't help you if you don't listen to what the other person is saying as this classic example by Bob & Ray illustrates the world-renowned from Upper Montclair, New Jersey doctor Darrell Dexter, please. Play Komodo dragon is the world's largest living lizard. It's found on the steep slope island of Komodo in the Lesser Sunda chain of the Indonesian archipelago. And thereby range of a darn florist say ferocious going every and one swipe of its tail can render an enemy senseless. Where do they come from? Lee Komodo dragon world's largest living lizard found on the Steep sloped island of Komodo had its name. That is in the Lesser Sunda chain of the Indonesian archipelago and the nearby islands are in Jupiter and Florist. We have to in this country who Komodo dragons which were given to us some Years Ago by the late former premier of Indonesia. Sukarno. I believe I read somewhere for a foreign potentate. Give America some come over right now. that true Yes. the former premier of Indonesia, Sacramento Give to this country with to the Moto dragons world's largest living lizard some years ago, and they are in the National Zoo in Washington will know if we wanted to take the children to see a Komodo dragon. Where would it take the children to see if all the dragon? If you are in my vicinity of our nation's capitol, Washington DC you would take the kiddos to the National Zoo and there you would see me to Komodo dragon sea world's largest living lizard. There is a stuffed Komodo dragon in the lobby of the Royal Hotel in Kathmandu Nepal. I believe they're of the lizard family. Are they and their ferocious kind every one swipe of their tails and rendering in and I believe we just about exhausted the subject. I want to thank you very much for coming by and I Know It Works a great hardship on you to come in here from Upper Montclair, New Jersey and I want to thank you. Do you have a ride home? No, I don't know. Maybe somebody hear the audience. Will be kind enough to give you a lift after the show. Thank you. Thank you. The best interviews sound like conversations and indeed that's exactly what they are with both interviewer and interviewee listening and responding to one another many people advise that you write out questions for an interview and I suppose that's fine. So long as the written questions don't keep you from listening to the answers. That's just crucial now in order to achieve a good interview. It's often necessary is Dale Connolly said earlier in the program to record three or four times as much material as you will actually use and select the best parts later. So incidentally, you should avoid yes, no type questions at all cost. If you're trying to do a man on the street interview after a football game, for example, and you ask did you enjoy the game? Yep. Nope, you're likely to wind up with some very short interviews ask open-ended questions, which require a longer more thought-out response such as using that same example. What did you think of the game last night? Of course, you may still get something like it's all right, but at least you tried. Kul tee time for 35k you will see temperatures 7 And you got the big banana here on k o l c and now from the cultural top 40 the Magnificent voice of Manchester Melissa that is and you just a happy ending. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it stop hate. Best free phone. Could you cut it? Okay. Thank you. Do music we love music but don't do it. That way that kind of radio has its place I guess in the scheme of things in this country, but in public radio, we try to be something more than just a jukebox. Whether we're presenting Classical Music Folk, jazz-rock, whatever. It doesn't matter. So do a piece with or about or involving music in some way and it can be any kind of music that you like, but do let the police take us beyond the surface of the music in some way. Happy ending. It's a very autobiographical song in terms of point of view affect. The key line of it is I'm a sucker for Happy Endings. I must be fantasies best friend. but I just best free phone best friend this is a new song called the goodness for the lady. Which is the continuing Saga? panda the idea of it is the key line of that is that is some good news for the lady. She's coming up from far behind and though she seems a little slow. It only goes to show that everything will grow in its own time. That is good and fly just might be. At one time you would have to fight just to be recognized and now you have to fight yourself to stay fresh and how not to get into a rut or anything like that, but I think I've stayed. The same I really do. I'm curious to know if if it was fulfilling any fantasy for you. And if you're acting it out exactly as you might have hoped you would owe sure. I wanted to be something special or do something special since I was a little girl and one year. I feel that I've gone through a certain amount of genuine apprenticeship, which is nice cuz I I think this is very little time for apprenticeship these days in terms of being in the midst of activity that you like to be involved with. I was going to read at the Vivian Beaumont theater. I worked in Street hit her for a while during a commercial of a study done running with Paul Simon who played some extraordinary theaters are in the country, but he come back to Carnegie Hall and you know what that represents to you. coming from 80th and Broadway and Part of you says okay. Let's not getting us here. This is another gig and you're going to try to do it as best. You can just like everything else in the other part look like oh my God. That was Melissa Manchester talking about her feelings now that she's made it big she spoke with Rick Metz in New York City and the tape came from NPR national public radio with funds provided by The Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Now it's true that not many of you can speak with Melissa Manchester, but you could do an illustrated piece on the changing musical Taste of today's young people or portrait of a friend who's a button virtuosa or a conversation with a local rock band Illustrated with their music. You're limited only by your imagination imagination is the most important tool to of the aspiring radio dramatist. And for some reason radio drama is quite popular with young people, even though it is nearly died as a serious art form. Fortunately. There are efforts now notably that your play project on public radio on our station that by the way Tuesday evenings at 11 and the CBS Mystery Theater some efforts to put some life back in to radio drama. I love radio drama because it's so flexible. It does it cost to fill make her millions of dollars to create the illusion of a giant ape sitting Atop The Empire State Building, but a radio dramatist can make that happen just by saying it did and throwing in a few well-chosen sound effects site. Your eyes are skeptical, but the ears can believe just about anything if you want them to once upon a time there were factories that made automobiles. One day you see new cars coming off the production lines of the nation's automobile factories filled up the last available room on the roads and highways and everything came to a stop. This is your traffic reporter heading north. We're very now over towards the lakefront to see if the Outer Drive is any better know we got the same thing over here. In fact, I haven't seen a streak yet. That wasn't completely jammed. I'd say there's little doubt that we've got the worst traffic in Chicago's history urgently advise all motorists to stay off the road. Does declared a state of National Emergency the death toll from carbon monoxide poisoning is unknown at this time, but is likely to reach staggering proportion many deaths from exposure are also occurring in the Northern Plains states where hordes of motorists of abandoned their automobiles in extreme cold and then attempt to walk to shelter in the meantime the president to send an emergency Bill to the Congress which would force the automobile manufacturers to hold further production until the automobile emergency is declared officially over. by the president You think the chopper will supports away just make sure you got it hooked on okay, okay, I put away. Helicopters were called in to clear away some of the automobiles those that were lifted off. The roads were dumped into the lakes and the ocean would insurance companies pay the owners of the automobiles dumped into the ocean. No one knew for sure and drivers got very angry at least one helicopter was shot down by an angry automobile owner and still the problem was not solved. Room for two more if I'm coming just to are you sure? Yeah. Yeah, but you don't have to stop the line till a blue one gets right to their you got it. Okay. That way we can get it out in 30 seconds when David thanks for asking me to come on the show. My pleasure. You see David. There's no way in the world. We in the industry could comply with the president's order as it is. We're going to show only very small growth disorder where we stopped turning out cars all together. We'd actually showing that floss and we owe it to the people of this nation not to let that happen. Yes, why such a serious he cannot accept back of the Auto industry would plunge the country into a depression depression, which would make 29 look like a picnic by comparison, but some people are being killed and millions perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars worth of property are being destroyed as a result of the jam. How do you reconcile your position with these facts? Well, David, I guess you have to weigh the short-term disadvantages of the jam with what we feel would be the long-term disaster which would befall our country if we would have to quit making cars. Of course. We are just as anxious to see an end of the I do this and we've allocated $1000000 for research table as to make a machine which will build highways three times as fast as conventional equipment now available and I'm pleased to be able to announce on your program at considerable progress has been made along these lines and we hope to have a prototype and operation by The Afters. and now the president of the United States my fellow Americans it is with a heavy heart that I come before you to announce that all talks with the automobile manufacturers have broken down. In the face of this grave emergency. The grave is perhaps it our nation has ever faced. I have requested and received from the Congress. a formal declaration of war on behalf of the people of the United States against automobile industry evacuation from the affected areas has been ordered. at this moment bombers at 103rd Squadron 42 care command Are taking off for Dearborn Kenosha Willow Run racing. What are automobiles like well, first of all, you've got to understand the people were quite a bit different then? You see that was back in the days before the great mutation. back in the days before men became that was the jam written by yours truly and produced in 1971 by the national Center for audio experimentation with funds provided by The Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The jam was technically complex at least four radio so much so that it would be difficult for us to do it here in our Studios probably impossible and probably impossible for you to the complexity is not the key to success as Dan Brooks last year's Minnesota winter in the senior category of the young people's radio Festival told Vicky sturgeon been with one tape recorder. Yes, if that's all you have. The quality doesn't have to be in technical production. It can be in in the script. The creativity is what counts more so than even technical quality is how creative you are at home adjective you use the the sound of your voice and of background to illustrate the virtues of Simplicity. We ask Bill Connelly of our staff to create a little piece for radio for us using just one cassette. One microphone with no editing and no re-recording and by golly he did it. Well, good morning everyone and welcome to the Saturday edition of breakfast with Dale has the same creeps up over the horizon a little sliver of golden ray runs up the back steps down the hall through the porch and into the kitchen here where I'm getting ready to talk with our famous guests cross the breakfast nook this morning Chef & Gourmet Horace divorce and Horace. I hear you're going to make us something just a little special this morning you use the wrong word deal. I don't make food Sara Lee makes food. Swanson's makes food Colonel Sanders makes food. I create like a writer creates a novel like a singer creates a song like a mad scientist creates life in a test-tube. I think I've got the point. What are you going to create for us this morning? This is a dish. I called eggs Olympia that does sound Lively. A very Regal meal fit for the gods and that's where the Olympia comes in right Olympus home of the Gods and all of that partly. Yes. Now first take a dish like this one and an egg like this one. Yes, okay. I so far. So good place the egg in the Bowl ever so carefully. You don't break it not if you can help it. Cover it with rice Uncle Ben's any kind will do cooked partially. Oh, okay, and now for the Olympia? Be sure you pour it over all the rice and the egg. But that's beer you're pouring in there. Of course now, once the egg is afloat. You take this common Carpenter's hammer and ever so gently break the egg broke my phone there see how it spreads out. Yeah, I I I I think I can see that. All right, then just pop the strawberry on top. And there you have it egg Olympia a lovely meal. You can eat with a nice tall glass of Pepsi ice can see you're just frothing-at-the-mouth with Hunger here have some have a lot. I don't think I I'm not you'll have to excuse me G and I was going to make lunch too. And they're indeed. You have it exactly. Frost for radio created by Dale Connolly created in one single take with one microphone and a cassette recorder. And with that we come to the end of this rather incomplete. I'm afraid look at some of the techniques and approaches which might be used by young people in this region who are interested in taking part in the young people's radio Festival sponsored by krsw and National Public Radio. In the course of producing this little program we became rather painfully aware of how little we could really tell you in so short a time. So as you begin to develop ideas for Projects, please don't hesitate to contact us for a specific suggestions and advice. Our address is krsw Worthington Community College, Worthington, Minnesota 56187. And our telephone number here in area code 507 is 3722 904. That's 37229 04 Brightest call us or drop by but do call first to be sure someone will be here and we'll give you any help that we can we're also willing to send a staff member or members to address a class if that will help and finally cassette copies of today's program are available at cost to anyone who wants one. Again. Our address is krsw Worthington Community College, Worthington, Minnesota 56187. And our phone number 372 to 904 Mount beginning. I promised you a rundown of the rules and procedures for the young people's radio festival and I'll do that note. Anyone knetter who is between the ages of 6 and 18 the age categories are primary which includes ages 6 through 10 Junior 11 through 14 and Senior 15 through 18. Now tapes maybe real real or cassette and maybe no longer than 15 minutes in length. That's a change used to be any length. And if you who may have heard this and proceeding years, but now and trees are limited to 15 minutes plenty long enough though to do a good job in any of the kinds of radio production that we've been talking about. You may submit as many tapes as you like tapes will be audition by broadcasters critics and Educators. They'll be listening for original and imaginative use of sounds and voices which were incorporated into the production of unique radio programs. I'm reading from the national public radio script here first second and third place prizes will be awarded in each age category if your type is selected as a winner by your National Public Radio member station, and that's Sasuke RSW.
