The assignment:

Sunday 2/24 (by midnight): As a group, settle on a theme and format for your show. One designated group member must write a blog post outlining these choices. Each student should design a proposed logo for their team.

Digital Dynamite is:  Amber, Bellekid, Watkins, and ChaChaChelsea

Oh, and me.

Two Words.  WATCH. OUT.

—————————

We have been discussing a few themes and formats this week.

We could create a fictional, yet plausible discussion podcast describing our dystopian experience directly after the demise of the dollar.

——-

I really like the idea put forth in SPRING, and having some of the format including an interview portion, even if it isn’t a real interview, but a scripted something that mimics an interview.

———

What about talking about life experiences as ‘characters?’ We could make up our own characters or do stories based upon our own lives.

——–

My main hope with the Radio Show is that we can share information about a sustainable lifestyle in an unobtrusive manner.

——–

Maybe we should each talk about our origins? Or rather, the origin of a certain interest we possess?

——–

All I am going to let you in on is this:

“The theme tying the stories together could relate to “Dynamite” in some way- a blast that changes the previous shape of something insurmountable and allows progress to be made.”

AND

We will be using the Doppleganger format as a model, an inspiration if you will.  You will get to hear something from each of us, but some ambiguity will remain.

We have been communicating A LOT via twitter

We need to have a final vote for this logo business.

We can’t wait to knock your socks off!

****UPDATE!****

OK so our decided theme: Why each of us are dynamite, this can be either some sort of story or personal experience that has began as a small event and later led to a big effect. This will follow our “dynamite” theme in that blowing up typically starts with a small spark.

As far as format goes we have decided that all of us will do a

• One 4 minute (no more than 5 no less and 4) personal story
• Two 30 second bumpers
• Two 1 minute commercials
• One 3 minute introduction (introducing the show, who we are and the first story)

We are still going to be modeling the Doppelganger set up using the above parameters.
