Piece Description
"Public Radio Fun'raisers" are short, entertaining modules perfect for all public radio pledge drives, regardless of your station's format, created by Waterlogg Productions, Joe Bevilacqua & Lorie Kellogg. Remember that each pitch break must have entertainment or information value. We have taken on the task of helping you get the word out about the quality of programing local stations provide and the need to keep the listeners tuned in during the fund drives. Use us to help your station raise the funds it needs to keep on the air. We keep in mind the top three points for pitches: 1. Public radio is informative and intelligent 2. Public radio is stimulating and broadening 3. Listener support is vital to public radio's survival (a.k.a. the economics of public radio), 4. Public radio is a good value. The spots range in time from 5 to 90 seconds. Use them often to spice up your pledge drive! -- lorie kellogg | co-producer | waterlogg productions | www.comedyorama.com | p.o box 374 | napanoch, ny 12458 web design and graphics: www.waterlogg.com

Review of Public Radio Fun'raisers - set #1Not your average "do your part" fundraising spots. Joe Bev's sense of humor is just a bit wacky and unconventional. These are worth checking out if for no other reason than to stimulate your own creativity. Most useable during contemporary music shows or during weekend entertainment. |

"The Pencil"
Kathy: Cathy
Cathy: Yes, Kathy?
KAthy: Can I use the pencil now?
Cathy: Oh, am sorry I forgot you get it on the half hour....

Cathy: Kathy, did you sharpen the pencil?
KAthy: Why yes, you could hardly see what I was writing.
Cathy: You know we can only afford to sharpen every Thursday afternoon.

Review of Public Radio Fun'raisers - set #1
Veteran producer Joe Bevilacqua has teamed up with Lorie Kellogg to produce 27 short and delightful skits as part of their "Public Radio Fun'raiser" series of entertaining modules for public radio pledge drives. Most of the spots are under a minute, with some running as short as 5 seconds. They hit on some familiar themes, like quality news, loss of federal funding, and forgetting to renew your pledge. Some of the themes sounded very familiar to me from my own on-air pitching, especially the one about imagining to feed the meter a nickel for every hour you listen to public radio. All of the modules are extremely well produced, and many of them are humorous. Having been involved in almost thirty years of on-air fundraising, I can say that these modules will serve well to "spice up" the on-air pitching by adding some additional elements. We all know how monotonous pledge drives can become at times, and these fundraising modules will be a welcome addition to your pledge drive.
