Boise State University Students Produce "Psychic Radio Journey"
NPR News 91 Program Director Jim East has announced that in celebration of Halloween, a program produced by Boise State University students will be rebroadcast on the radio station. �Madame Zora�s Psychic Radio Journey� will be aired at 8 p.m. Friday. The program was originally broadcast on July 6.
The program was produced as part of the spring semester class �Studies in Media Production.� The class was a workshop in magazine format radio taught by East and communication professor Rick Moore.
Students who contributed to �Madame Zora�s Psychic Radio Journey� include A.J. Eaton, Alexandra McNish, Nick Whittier and Kelly Rice.
The class was divided into groups, with each group asked to produce a one-hour radio program on a subject of their choosing. Programs included one that focused on religion in America and another that focused on great road-trip stories. One program was called, �You Say �To-May-To,� I Say �To-Mah-To,�� a look at things that are the same but different. Segments of this program included a look at wrestlers and ballet dancers who both struggle with their weight, a look at the differences of NBA vs. NCAA basketball, and a visit with a male-to-female transsexual.
East said that while each of the programs was very creative, �Madame Zora�s Psychic Radio Journey� excelled at using interviews, sound, music and editing to create a very enjoyable listening experience. The program takes the unique perspective of introducing listeners to a variety of people who claim to have psychic abilities, concluding with the possibility that everyone has some level of psychic powers.
East said he is impressed with, �the attention to detail and the entertainment value
in this program,� adding, �There are segments that make you wonder and segments that make you chuckle. These students should be very proud of this quality of work.�
NPR News 91 is heard at 91.5 FM, KBSX Boise; 88.5 FM, KBSY Burley; 91.3 FM, KBSJ Jackpot and 91.1 FM, KBSK McCall.
