The Media Collective proudly presents its newest project: 312-DRY-TOFU. Go ahead. Give it a call. Answer the question. Tell us what is on your mind. We’ll post the audio to our web site.
Feel free to leave us questions you would like to ask the public. We may even use it for the next question on the voice mail.
This project is in its infancy, so call 312-DRY-TOFU and listen for the next question or prompt. They will change every week.
The following audio was obtained on September 24th, 2009 in front of the Lawson Computer Science Building on the Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana campus.
In this soundscape you will hear various speeches, conversations, and the various other noises that occurred during the 4 and 1/2 hours we were at the protest. We apologize for the microphone grumbles and audio drop-outs near the end.

The following audio was obtained on September 24th, 2009 in front of the Lawson Computer Science Building on the Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana campus.
People started forming around the city block near the building, some of them belonging to the Citizens in Action and Purdue University College Republicans groups. Bill Ayers was scheduled to speak at 7PM that evening. We decided to interview those active in the protest and passerby from 5PM until about 9:30PM.
The full interview is listed below. To listen to the interviews broken down by Who, What, Where, When, Why, How, click the “There’s more! Continue reading” link below and then download the appropriate segment you want.
A soundscape of the protest will be uploaded in the coming week.

A friend of ours informed us that a local noise band, Cro Magnon (Lafayette, IN), played on WFMU’s Talks Cheap with Jason Sigal.
You can download their entire set from the Free Music Archive.
We finally have edited down the first and only episode of Live! From Planet Zok.
The opening is a little strange. The training for Purdue’s Student Radio consisted of standing behind someone who was controlling the board and SAM program saying, “Here’s Deck A. Here’s Deck B. Drop stuff here. Make a playlist. Be sure to turn it on auto when you are done. Blah. Blah. Blah.” So we had no idea what was happening. Luckily, we figured it out. Enjoy!
