What’s up with that? A show not hosted by Ryan Hill. Music from Wolfram Music Generator

This is it. The final episode of the season. We made it. We finished the project. It only took us five months after we stopped recording to finally get to this stage, but we did it! We would like to thank everyone who participated with us on the first season. Be on the lookout for the “Got the Itch” season bridge. We interviewed the last two Fridays, so there is content waiting to be put up!

The final episode’s questions were:

1. How does the writer’s strike affect you?
2. What’s the best way to say your sorry?
3. What is made in America?
4. How do you feel about the face of the Golden Boy?

Yet another show! A long one. We’re just trying to get to end of the season now. Only a few more to go.

1. How would you torture someone?
2. How are you conserving water?
3. Say something the government would suppress.
4. You were just text messaged, e-mailed, SMSed, voice mailed, commented upon—sports were banned in the United States. What do you do?

This page will hold links to current projects, along with ideas for future projects. If anything excites you enough to want to become involved, please let us know!

Current and active projects:

• What’s up with that? - Absurd, socio-political “on the street” interviews
• News Channel Internet - Coverage of the happenings in the Village/Chauncey area, near Purdue’s campus, and other parts of the city
• (frankly) - A local art and literature magazine
• The Artificial Hipster World - A nature show about hipsters

Projects we want to start:

• A cutup skit show - Have people on the street perform the dialog, sound effects and music for a short, 30 second audio skit and then assemble.
• A performance group - Perform sketch and improv comedy before an audience (if you are interested in joining, contact us!)
• An artist spotlight show - Do some interviews with local area artists (if you want to be interviewed, contact us!)
• A random interview spotlight show - Do some in depth interviews with complete strangers (if you want to be interviewed, contact us!)
• Host local media artists - We want to provide web space to those artists who are currently not on the web. You can get an anything.themediacollective.org address for free! Contact us if you are interested!

Something else finally broke in the Chauncey area. This time with a political and religious bent. Luckily The Media Collective was there to cover it.

Perhaps you have seen the people standing along State Road 26 holding signs in protest of abortion. Maybe you tried to engage them in conversation. Maybe some of you yelled your own slogans from your cars. We went out and asked them Who-What-Where-When-Why-How.
