Piece Description
This is historical reality and nostalgia in a politically neutral package to complement coverage for events such as federal holidays or elections. From FDR's powerful Declaration of War to General Colin Powell's inspiring words after Desert Storm; Ingrid Bergman's request to "play it again, Sam;" Tom Hanks' orders to find Pvt. Ryan; the testy McCarthy Hearings; Archie Bunker's reaction to anti-war protestors; Carter's Iran hostage rescue attempt; Reagan's threat to tax increasers; Clinton's inauguration, apologies; and tons more.
I offer you "Six Decades Of 20th Century America" in 3 different forms:
1. A FULLY PRE-RECORDED version with an intro that encourages listeners to CHECK YOUR WEBSITE for a full "Cast List" of the voices and events they hear in the program. Also a pre-recorded close with accompanying written tag so you can give your website address. Under "Transcript" is a full "CAST LIST" of the voices and sounds in the program. I suggest placing this on your website and mentioning it in the open and close of the program to encourage traffic to your site.
2. A version with NO PRE-RECORDED INTRO OR CLOSE, with the opening music bed supplied. This is so you can have your own announcer(s) open and close the feature. See the "For Stations" tab for the script.
