Radio Play: Salt and Pepper

Episodes
1

Radio is an extraordinary medium. It travels through time and space between centuries and continents. A radio play takes place in the confines of somebody’s mind. The audience has to be attracted, and its attention held by the means of sound alone. ACS sixth graders have written creative/expressive radio plays, but in addition to speech, they have used sound effects, music, and something rarely appreciated by the inexperienced writer, silence. This variety is essential for holding the listeners’ attention and engaging their interest. Using Garage Band, they have recorded, edited and added sound effects. The students tried to convey a variety of things: suspense, anxiety and tranquility. Please take a few moments and enjoy the wonderful imaginations of our sixth graders.

Radio drama, old-time radio and historic broadcasts from the Internet Archive (its Old Time Radio collection with the Old Time Radio Researchers' sets, WWII Era Audio Recordings, the Pacifica Radio Archives, the Radio Haiti Archive, German radio plays and listeners' uploads), Wikimedia Commons (with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision's broadcasts) and the Library of Congress. Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
