An eventfull week in radioland

Today I was wearing my KZSC tshirt and a guy at the store where I usually shop said, "Hey, do you work at KZSC? You do, don't you? Hey, you're the blues girl! I thought I recognized your voice!" It was the first time some had recognized me from voice alone. It was cool.

Also, I got some really good feedback on the I did for the Drama Hour for a guy who lives in Japan. KZSC is now in itunes college radio, so he found us there and wrote the station manager to tell us he loved a piece I directed.… Continue

The Better Than Dead Present: The KZSC Drama Hour

So, the project that I'm most passionate about is my Radio Drama Hour in Santa Cruz. We produce traditional radio dramas from the Golden Age of Radio, adapt TV episodes, short stories and theatrical scripts, and write our own original pieces. You can listen to us live from 5-6pm every Sunday on www.kzsc.org!

I've also uploaded some of our stuff on here. Everything under "my music" is something that we produced.

Profile Information

What semester and year did you join the BECA MA program?

Fall 07

What are your media emphases and practical experience? If you have graduated, what do you do now?

Audio!
I've worked at KSFS and I currently have two radio shows on KZSC (you can listen at 88.1fm Santa Cruz and www.kzsc.org). The first show is Blues Roots and it's Saturday 2-4pm. The second show is the KZSC Drama Hour. Together with a group of talented individuals, known as The Better Than Dead Air Players, I host a live radio drama program from 5-6pm Sundays. Last year we licensed a couple of our productions to a few different radio stations nationwide, through a website called PRX

I've also been a reporter and anchor for the KZSC news and am interested in journalism/public affairs.

Since coming to SF State, I've been increasingly interested in noise/sound art. Particularly the "sound of place." I love taking a field recorder out to a farmer's market, or on a train and trying to capture the sense of space.

What BECA classes have you taken / do you intend to take?

BECA 700 (of course)
KSFS Radio
Screenwriting
Sound Across Media
and I've taught BECA 231

This semester (I think) I'm taking audio for video, Aesthetics and Ethics.

Ciao, A
