Wiki reasearch

Some of the reasearch that went into making my radio show:

Question of when payphones came about:
Pay phones were preceded by pay stations, manned by telephone company attendants who would collect payment for calls placed. In 1889, the first public coin telephone was invented by William Gray and installed at a bank in Hartford, Connecticut. The invention quickly caught on, and by 1902, there were 81,000 pay phones in the United States. By 1905, the first outdoor pay phones with booths were installed. By the end of 1925, 25,000 of these booths existed in New York City alone. In 1960, the Bell System installed its one millionth telephone booth. After the divestiture of Pacific Bell (California) and AT&T in 1981, it wasn't long before independent stores selling telephones opened up. After that privately owned payphones hit the market. Unfortunately due to excessive vandalism, this market struggled.

Rough Draft

Rough Draft of how the radio show will go down

- Start off with announcer giving the weather for tomorrow
- gets a call about a strange moss like creatures near the shoreline right off the Naval base and asks questions about whats going on.
- Goes into a comercial break from sponsors
- breaks into the commercial to say there are more callers calling about infor of these moss like creatures that are causing problems. they are thought to be dangerous and are spurting out unidentified spurs into the air, and already one man is injured from these visible spurs.
- breaks into a commercial
- More reports that these creatures are all over town. officals are advising residents to stay indoors, untils matters are solved
- Commercial break
- Radio team sends out a reported to the location to investigate the situation. He gets too close smells a strange sickly sweet sent and then we hear nothing but the ocean background noises.
- Radio announcer says they are having a communication problem
-goes into a commercial break
- Comes back and says he is walking through the studio towards outside to get a closer look for the listerns, opens the door then all you hear is static. . .......

Creature

So I finished (mostly) my "Creature", after one set back I think I am (mostly) satisfied.
Well here is what I did:
1. First I took two halves of a ball of clay and made pinch pot bowls.
2. I attached those two halves together to form a ball with a hollow center.
3. Because there is an air pocket in the center I was able to roll the ball around to get the shape I wanted.
4. I then made the imprints of the areas for the spiky parts by pressing them in with my hands.
5. I used more clay and attached it to the ball and got the look I wanted from a needle tool.
6. Next I used a real dried starfish and imprinted my texture to the shape.
7. After I got the piece to the way I wanted it I waited and waited for it to dry
8. Then I threw it in a kiln (here is where it slightly exploded on me)
9. I glued all the parts together, with a 5 min epoxy (lifespan one year) and then I painted it using acrylic paint.

radio hoaxes

Website devoted to Radio Hoaxes like Ronald Knox's Broadcasting the Brigades. Which happened 12 years before the Orson Wells broadcast of the war of the worlds. Same style broadcast Knox reports about cricket games, and whatnot than goes in and out of telling the story about unruly demonstrators gone bad. I think I might follow the technique of Knox and have my listeners listen to a normal news stories than give them tidbits of something much more terrifying.
