Update: the show is now finished and has aired. Listen here.
We’re putting the finishing touches on the Collaboration show, but we’re still missing one piece:
You.
We need your voices to finish the episode.
If you have a microphone in your computer, now’s the time to use it. Record the lines below, and we’ll try to work them into the broadcast. Either send an mp3 to spark at cbc dot ca or use this online voice recorder to leave a message.
Here are your lines:
- This is Spark on CBC Radio One
- I’m Nora Young
- From the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, this is Spark
- I did
- You did
- That was the point of this episode of Spark, to see if we could write an entire episode by collaborating with you.
A couple of weeks ago we opened up the radio making process by starting a wiki. It’s a website that anyone can edit, and you jumped in and tweaked our ideas, our research, and you even changed this script. - Made changes to this script
- Vetted the dialogue
- Re-wrote the narration
- A wiki is like a sandbox
- Online collaboration
- I helped make this show.
You don’t have to record every line. You can pick and choose. To see how this will all fit together, check out the show script.
Have fun, and thanks!
I shall get out the microphone, and record, record, RECORD!!!
i cannot wait to record those lines and email them in, are you as excited as me?
This is not related to the post, but I didn’t know where else to comment.
Just happened to turn to CBC1 around 315pm because local radio was awful and my iPod was at home. A live performance by a gal being trumped as the next sensation from coast to coast, the talk of the country. Which country? Which coast? She was awful. Sorry, no disrespect. But I immediately tuned out.
The good ol’ CBC, offering air time to just about anybody “quirky” enough or eclectic enough to be . . . well, straight-up bad.
Different strokes for different folks, but not this folk, nor millions of others. Put it in perspective, please.
What about having themed episodes, for example, an episode where everyone has to sound like a Megatron or Bill Gates
I was listening to The Current about using food for ethanol fuel. We are farming here in Southern Manitoba. If the price of grain had not gone up we would not be planting a crop this spring. It costs $1000.00 to fill up the tractor and with that we can work 2 fields. It is costing a fortune to plant the crop this spring as all input costs have gone up – not just fuel for the tractor. With the price of food where one can actually earn a living growing it farmers in developing countries should be able to earn a living.
