The radio show I had listened to for this radio show listening was the Ravioli Radio.

Within the first minute I was already hooked. They started off with everyone speaking parts of the intro and all the different voices actually made it sound like a talk show! The first advertisement was super neat, it was just like one of the ones you see on TV that end with a very rapidly spoken disclaimer. The next thing that stood out to me was all of the background music. I would think of multiple different sounds as messy or chaotic but their utilization of different sounds was smooth and cohesive. The sounds also fit what they were saying each time. My favorite sound was their transition applause they had before every new section. It made the listener feel pumped and energized for the next one. The conversation aspect of the radio show allowed it to be more interactive as well instead of just hearing people talk all at once. It made it more engaging this way. I also liked the incorporation of facts and specifics they included like being from Germany and how mopeds are effective there for them and how they are better for the environment as well.

Overall, I had a really good experience listening to this radio. It wasn’t boring at all, there were various voices, jokes, and conversations. The background music helped tie it all together and kept it engaging. The advertisements were also really well executed and thought out. I think this was a great show!

On Monday, I listened to two of the Radio Shows with some of the class: Logic Pod, and Ravioli Radio (me and my group’s!)

We first listened to Logic Pod. One of the things that stuck out to me was the use of real voices. It’s been a couple of days and I don’t really remember exactly what had happened, but I remember being astonished that the real voices actually sounded great! They sounded crisp (good), the mics were good, the sound quality fit each other, even with the few voices that were generative! And also, the people behind the voices did really well acting out their scripts. It was very believable!

There was a point at the end of the show that stuck out the most. It was a speech by I thinkkkk Robin’s character (although I don’t remember their name), a powerful one that I’ve been thinking about for days. I don’t remember what the message was, but I just remember that a mixture of the acting, the script, and tension in the audio made me feel really moved.

I also remember reading Robin’s posts, but also listening to when they came on air to answer questions, and Robin talked about how long it took to put together. It seemed very stressful, especially doing it all themself, but I think it came together really well and really connected. I was impressed!!

Finally, we listened to Ravioli Radio, and I was geeking behind my computer screen seeing what people were saying about the radio I worked on. It was so nice, everyone was so nice!! I think a lot of people liked it! Me and Summers went on air to answer questions after, and it was really fun to actually use my voice and talk about it instead of just typing it out. I was very happy with my results.

Overall, I just had a really good time

Hello everyone!

I did listen in on the first day but because of my work schedule I wasn’t able to be active in the discord! I was listening on my headphones while I was working but I loved everyones show! It was fun to see the titles and the little description and see it come to life! I think everyone killed it and I loved the Dr. Oblivion show as well! I was able to tune in to that part as well and I thought it was super fun and such a creative idea! I loved being able to just casually enjoy the show while I was doing work because they were amazing background sounds.

Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed the radio listening! I sure did!
