Good morning, CSW. You're listening to the Radio Lab. Welcome, CSW. This is Josh again.
Sorry for the impromptu recording, but we currently have no theme, so I'm using my first thing that I ever made for radio, which was a theme for the self-indulgently called Josh Holstein Show. But anyway, it's ready to day here at CSW. Anyway, here's what's new with Radio CSW. So we've had a great first week of launch.
We've had some great programs which have been submitted, including one from Diana from the French department called La Rèche Française. I'm currently walking over to the Young Lab, where I'm about to host Radio Lab, my weekly workshop. We've been working on quite a few things, including getting... Today we'll be writing the broadcast protocol.
And on other days we'll be doing workshops for things like creating themes or for creating radio works of art. It's a really great workshop. I really recommend you go. Plus, we'll have food most of the time.
It's a baby young lab. Both open blocks. Either one, really. Either one will be doing the same thing both times.
In the baby young lab. If you have work, I'm going to do it. You can listen to us. Do the radio stuff.
I'll do love report. Well, here in the beginning I'll do what I'm doing right now. Tell you what's new with Radio CSW, what's new with Radio Lab, what's new with the world, really. We'll do a brief news thing.
And then we'll... Sorry if you're here to be cut out for a little bit. In the meantime, enjoy Tifa La Vida and Strawberry Swing, starting with Tifa La Vida. Thanks for listening, everybody.
I'll be back. I used to rule the world, the season rise when I gave the word. Now in the morning I sleep alone, sweet the streets I used to own. I used to roll the dice, feel the fear in my enemy's eyes.
Listen as the crowd will sing, now the old king is dead, long as the king. The minute I held the key, next the way is the close door of me. And I'm stuck with my castles down, upon pillars of song, pillars of sound. I hear taverns and the bells are ringing, it's in a bar and field.
Oh, some reason I can't explain, once you've known it was never, never an honest word. That was when I ruled the world. I threw down the doors to let me in, shouted windows and the sound of drums. People couldn't believe what I've become.
I'm revolutionaries, wait, for my head on a silver plate. Just a puppet on a lonely string, or a crew would have a one of a king. I hear derives and the bells are ringing, Roman Catholic cries to sing it. Even when I'm a sword and shield, my missionaries hit a fire and field.
For some reason I can't explain, I know St. Peter won't call my name. Never an honest word, but that was when I ruled the world. Oh, some reason I can't explain, I know St.
Peter won't call my name. Never an honest word, but that was when I ruled the world. Anyway, welcome back to Radio CW. If you're just listening, this is the Radio Lab Report.
My name is Josh Holstman, and I finally got to a quiet space. After a minute of text, I told you this morning, I was able to finally get the broadcast going. And basically what the Radio Lab Report is, it's our weekly live report. We'll have it two times during Wednesday, during close-up blocks, when you should be coming here to Radio Lab.
Anyway, today, first-up block Radio Lab is cancelled due to technical issues and due to the fact that the BBM Lab is now locked. So, anyway, for today's Radio Lab, I hope to, what I want to do is really, I guess, we'll talk about what this station really means to me, why I, the thing is, yeah, I'm doing this completely. You know, this is really hard to put into words, but you've all seen me try so hard to bring this station to life, and it finally has come to life. And there are reasons behind why I so adamantly tried to start this.
As I said in my first broadcast, CW needed a media source. To help share the wonderful minds, the wonderful artists, the wonderful voices that we have here at CW. When I first started trying to get this off the ground last year, it sparked me the idea that CW needed to share its voice. We had, at that time, no media outlet besides the online newspaper, which had failed only months before.
And now Brian Walker's trying to bring it back, which is great. Congratulations to the Griffin Sci for getting this off the ground. And now we have sort of an audio component to that as well. We have voices in arts here.
And I really, it's been really great so far. It's really been a dream come true. But we still need more voices here. It's really only been three so far.
Well, four, if you count Thomas and Dominic, it's not the same thing. I said, that was pretty hilarious. I'm screaming into a microphone for a couple minutes on hand about cars or something. I don't know.
But it has been a really fun first week, and it's really been successful. So I really invite all of you to start thinking about, if you want to, for a chance, start making your own stations as well. Because, well, one, we're running well. We're going to be out of new programs in about a week or two.
So we do need a lot more voices. And we're looking for anything, anything really. And I realize it might just be a case of people not knowing where to listen in to. But if you're listening to this, tell your friends about it.
Tell your friends how to listen in. And tell your friends to make programs. Because making a radio program is one of the easier, constant, kind of consistent arts, consistent overtime arts, to make on your own. You can use GarageBand.
You can use Reaper on PC. I know PCs don't have GarageBand, but they do have Reaper, which is in ways better than GarageBand. And I really encourage you all to do so, because it's really, really fun. I have so many ideas for shows I can write.
I mean, it would be great if other people could read the scripts I write instead of me, because I'm not a very good announcer myself. But it would be great if other people had ideas for talk shows, radio shows, news shows, for language shows, game shows. And I had so many ideas when I started this. And I truly thought that the community would really appreciate it.
And so far, they really have. But I have also thought that they would really appreciate the opportunity to really let their creative side go wild with these types of radio programs. So far, I haven't seen much of that. Though we have been receiving a lot of really great plans for news shows.
Like we have, I think we have somebody producing right now a sort of Fun Facts show called Fun Facts with Phil. It's going to be really fun. And the French Four Class, I mean, is actually, they're going to do a 45-minute program, which is going to be absolutely amazing. All in French.
It's going to be so great. And Diana, if you're listening to this, thank you so much. She's really been ecstatic about this idea of having a CW radio station. She, in fact, had worked at a radio station before, I think, and had worked at the radio club in another school.
So she's really ecstatic about this. She created La Fête Française, which is a broadcast earlier this week. If you want to listen to it, on the right, there's the recent podcast stream. If you go down to La Fête Française, you can just click Listen.
It's really great. She's really good at making this kind of stuff. And, yeah, so it would be awesome if other classes do something like that, do like a radio project almost for a grade. So actually, starting now, I'm going to have a contest for whoever can make the best theme for the radio lab report.
Whoever sends me the best will have a feature on air, and will have their theme be the theme for the weekly radio lab report. Because currently mine sounds like, well, me screaming to a microphone and listening again. Really easy. Really easy.
But you get the point. And it's actually really easy to create themes. The theme that I created was unpolished merely because I didn't have a whole lot of time. I took this radio workshop a year or two back.
We only had a couple weeks to really learn everything. And when we were given this, we only had a day or two to create these themes. So instead, well, not instead, but before that, what they did, and what we'll be doing as our next activity this afternoon in radio lab, will be creating themes from recordings of our voices. I mean, if you heard in the background, there was me going like, like almost like crazy.
But I snitched that together with me, like clapping or slamming a door. And it created something that sounded fairly decent. I mean, listen, you hear all those layers. You hear, like, water running.
And then I put in a mini track, and it was great. Today we'll be learning how to use all the equipment, and then we'll be writing the protocol. Plus we have food. I've been bringing food for the past three weeks.
Nobody has been coming, and therefore nobody has been eating it. I have fresh food. Not like produce, but, you know, bags of chips and cookies today. If you want to come just for food, or even to be online, or even be on radio, we're going to be broadcasting live today during the second open block.
We'll start our broadcast around 2.05, 2.07. So broadcast live. It's going to be really great. So it would be really great if you all come down.
I'd really like to get this thing even more off the ground than it is to get really flying. In fact, in other news, we're actually hoping to have a collaboration with the Perkins School for the Blinds Radio Lab, which is really great because I'm still waiting for the email to come, but it's going to be a real boost to our radio lab. I just can't wait to really get all these different projects on my mailbox. For example, like Funpacks with Phil, or the Perkins School email.
And I've heard people want to do gossip shows, or do things like DJ shows. We need those because I can't DJ for my life. But for everyone out there, there's always a radio program that you can make that would really be of interest to you or to your friends. So what I'm doing is to grab your friends, grab a group, and just start creating.
It doesn't matter what it is. Everything that's submitted to me goes online, no matter how short. How long? Well, besides, well, yeah.
We only have a consistent runtime of 45 minutes right now. We're only allowed to have 45 minutes on air at a time. So if you have something over 45 minutes, we'll either have to split it up or have it be podcast only. But everything that we broadcast live becomes a podcast, and everything that's a podcast becomes live at one point.
So if you send me a podcast, I'll broadcast it live, which will then in turn create it as a podcast in the podcast stream. Sorry to do this again. I played the theme to play this out. But thanks for listening, everybody.
This is in the radio lab. And I guess come check out the block form for radio lab again. Listen in or come on over to the baby young lab. Talk away from the radio lab.
Thanks for listening, everybody. I'll get time for it. This is Chuck Holtzman. A little bit sick.
I'm short for it. Tune in out. This is Radio CSW. Thanks for listening.
