The Awkward Homecoming

by Cam Tait

From series creator and producer Cam Tait My love of listening to voices, sound effects and music goes back to my teenage days. Radio personality Bob Comfort did a piece on 630 CHED called Posters for Your Mind, combining his voice telling a story and then, very cleverly, picking a current piece of music to drive home the point. It made an impeccable impact. And, it inspired me to, maybe, make a profession as a radio producer. Back in the early 1970s, though, technology was … well, a turntable, a cassette tape recorder and a microphone. Add in my shaky and unco-ordinated hand — I have cerebral palsy — and, for some reason, my family and friends weren’t very pleased to find multiple scratches on their records. Record needles and me? Not a marriage made in heaven. Story continues below This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Same with audio tape: my good fri
