I need bumpers

[ericcoleman]

I'm working on Radio Capricon, slowly but slowly.

So I wondered if anyone wanted to record some announcements for me to play between songs on RC ???

They must mention Radio Capricon and/or The University Of Fandom campus radio but anything else goes

They can be simple promos, if anyone has any sort of commercials that might be amusing that would be good.

If anyone has sound stuff that you think might be appropriate. I have a bunch of sound bites that I use between songs. Quotes from movies (my signature is Shatner saying "I'm from Iowa, I only work in outer space") but I am always looking for more. If anyone knows of a nifty website that might have some good sound stuff please direct me to it (I have already ransacked badmovies.org for a ton of stuff)

Push your products, your website, your podcast or just say something odd, something useful even (yeah I know, that's expecting a lot).

The theme for Capricon this year is The University Of Fandom, so any sort of college radio commentary would be wonderful.

If you have something, want to do something, send them in mp3 format to ericcoleman at gmail dot com

If you have something that would make for good programming, send it to me. Things run as panels, in hour formats, but I can always find stuff to fill if it runs short (running long is a problem since I announce what is going on around the con every hour)

Now I gotta go upstairs and do the same for Devospice ... one bit of voice work coming up in just a little bit.

Would there be any way... if we knew a specific time that the bumpers would be played to actually record some promos for upcoming events/panels?

I will be doing announcements every hour on the hour of everything going on throughout the con, but if someone wants to give me copy the next week or so I could do some specific bumpers to play before events.

Timeframe? Max length? Old Shockwave bits/commercials?

I need bumpers, short bits to go between songs.

I am going to play something off your CD, but I dont know what yet.

Old bits and commercials would be fine, but if they are on the 25 year CD I have them already

What I don't have (easily and high quality) is a microphone, so you may not get specific bumpers for Capricon, but I can send you other little bits that I made for a different project. Hmm... do you want the bumpers I made for Dr. D at the 2004 Marscon? I don't know if he ever used them.

If I get a microphone... precisely what do you need in the way of Radio Capricon station ids? Suggested phrasing, please. I gather you're not an FCC station so there is no actual "legal" id, but I'd like to know what you need.

My stock line is Radio Capricon, 24 hours, but not in a row.
