Piece Description
This hour (newscast compatible) features Benjamen Walker, talking with host Jay Allison about pushing the edge with experiments in sound. Works include excerpts from Walker's series: The Theory of Everything; Time Delay from Jonathan Katz; Craziest by Liz Dubelman; Stress Test by Hans Anderson; Impersovader by Sean Cole and Benjamen Walker. Note: An excerpt of piece accompanying the early part of the interview with Ben Walker contains wry references to venereal disease. No bad language, but might be offensive to some. The Transom Radio Hour grows out of the web site Transom.org which is devoted to the art and practise of public radio. It's the first and only stand-alone website ever to win the Peabody Award. It's an open master class for story-telling in sound. Like the site, the radio series has a practical and instructional tone, encouraging people to do it themselves.

Review of The Transom Radio Hour - Experimenting With Sound
Like a seventh grader trying to pump up a term paper, "The Transom Radio Hour - Experimenting With Sound" suggests it's going to be a serious investigation into the potential of unconventional radio. Fortunately, education is quickly dropped in favor of inspiration in the form of interviews and samples of some of the esoteric and exciting media being created by people who have found in the affordable, hand-crafted world of audio a place to soar on a shoestring; a world where your friends are your production values. It may be preaching to the converted, but suppose this program hits one creative person looking for a new form of expression and tips them over the edge. How cool would that be? Engaging, entertaining, a great sampler.
