Live from Planet Zok – A New Project

The Media Collective is preparing a new project to begin this coming semester on Purdue Student Radio: Live from Planet Zok.

The show will be a mix of music, improvisation, and audio from the web site. There will also be a segment where listeners can call in and share their thoughts with the topic of the week.

We will be posting flyers around campus to generate awareness of this new project, but we will also need your help spreading the word as well. Tell your friends they will have a reason to listen to the student run radio this fall.

Here is our first design:

Thank you everyone for a great first season! Thank you Vienna, for letting us use your establishment as a starting off point.

Here’s Zach thanking and rambling about it. Sorry for the cheese.

A couple things to note out of this:

We want to do a series called What’s up with you!? A solo interview using all of the previous what’s up with that questions. If you are interested, please contact us.

A database consisting of all the previous questions so people can generate four questions to produce their own What’s up with that? show.

Stay in touch! If you have any ideas for the collective, let us know!

What’s up with that RSS subscription?

We just got this voicemail from a friend. I thought the link on the right to the RSS feed worked for iTunes? Do we have to do something else? Something different? Please let us know if it works or doesn’t.

Happy 2008!

Well, if you are reading this, that means you survived yet another year! Welcome. Hopefully this year will be everything that you want it to be. We have a few things on the horizon at the Collective starting this year as well.

I have spoken with the (frankly) editors and the new edition should be out very shortly. As soon as it is, we’ll post the link here.

Projects for 2008

  1. A Brainstorming Club to facilitate as a launchpad for various media projects inside and outside of the Collective.
  2. The cutup skit show (working title Snip Skits).
  3. A music show of sorts (working title Banana’s New Taste in Music), focusing on local music along with items that are freely available on the Internet.
  4. A wiki to organize items for the Brainstorming Club and other projects

As always, if you have any ideas for anything or would like to help with any projects, please let us know. After all, The Media Collective is YOU!

Long delay on new shows! Our apologies!

Wow. What a crazy last couple of weeks. Luckily the Collective has some much needed time off and can get through all of these back shows to keep everyone happy.

Once we get those out of the way, I think we can move forward on some other audio projects. We are also working on starting a Brainstorming Club. What would a brainstorming club do exactly? I picture a group of people meeting at a coffee shop with ideas of their own to hash out or willing to participate in the creative games that involve chance, improvisation, and randomness. Eat poop you cat, Exquisite Corpse, What is Wrong with this Picture, storytelling modification of Quiddler, and the alternating sentence game are a few that come to mind. If you would be interested, please contact us.

Hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday!
