Outline Of Our Final Project: Softball Game
For our final project we originally decided to do a video/slideshow on skateboarding at all the local skate spots in this area. Richie made a google map of the skate parks around here but we changed our minds. We changed the topic of our project to the News 7 VS The Critic softball game because we know people in class played in the game and knew we could make a more interesting project. For the video Ryan Holmes filmed the game, I edited the video and recorded interviews with people from News 7 afterwards and edited it over the footage of the game. Richie Hansen created the slideshow, helped me interview people and edited the audio for the slideshow.

The All American Potion Radio Show write up
Monday
nights at 7 DJ Brother and DJ Wolfman set up the radio station just the way
they like it. The DJs bring in their own lamp so they don’t have to use the
bright studio lights and they hang up an American flag since their show is
called The All American Potion. Unfortunately last Monday night when we went to
film DJ Brother was running late and did not have time to grab his lamp or
American flag to set the mood for their show.
The
All American Potion plays a wide variety of music from classic rock to funk,
Monday nights between 7 and 9 on WWLR 91.5. The show is hosted by roommates
Adam Brothers (DJ Brother) and Ry Wolfel (DJ Wolfman). DJ Brother started the
show in the spring of 2009 and has kept the show going with a few other DJs
over the years. Recently he started hosting the radio show with Wolfel.
According
to Brothers, after a long weekend when Monday comes around and no one is
looking forward to school, the radio show is a great way to start off their
week. He says its something to look forward to, usually people have the Monday
morning blues but for Brothers and Wolfel they have the Monday night jams.
They
always start their show with the national anthem since its called “The All
American Potion”, sometimes they even sing along to show their patriotism.
Around 8 the DJs play what they like to call “The Main Ingredient to the All
American Potion”. For “The Main Ingredient” they usually play a longer song for
about 15 minutes so they have time to use the bathroom or smoke a cigarette.
According
to the Djs its pretty easy to get your own radio show, you just have to go to
the WWLR club meetings at the beginning of the semester and talk to the board
of directors or Nick Brien, the man in charge. WWLR wants more students to join
the club so they are eager to give anyone a chance on the air.
Elias
Hantzis, the radio traffic director, who was not their when we filmed, says his
job is to make sure Brothers and Wolfel keep a record of the songs they play
and the times they play them. “The basic rules are, treat the place better than
your house, don’t leave it a mess, fill out the operation log and if you have
any guests make sure they fill out the operation log as guest.” Hantzis says.
The
rules are pretty simple: Be respectfull of the station, don’t swear on air,
keep a record of who is in the studio and all the songs they play, and don’t
play more than two songs by the same artist. The DJs don’t always agree with
the two songs by one artist rule, they play what they want to hear.
