SOUND  BEAT – The Spookiest Music Ever!

& L.A. THEATRE WORKS – War of the Worlds & Dracula

Have you seen The Big Year currently playing in theatres across the coutntry? In it, Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson play three middle-class, average Americans who happen to be passionate birders and crisscross the continent in a contest to see as many birds as possible.

The popularity of our feathered friends has never been higher and the popularity of BirdNote is also soaring. The two-minute vignette now airs on over 100 stations across the country.

BirdNote can bring the majesty of these animals, and the escape to nature portrayed in The Big Year to your listeners without them having to leave their homes (or cars.)

BirdNote is a daily vignette that incorporate the rich sounds of birds with stories that illustrate the interesting and in some cases, truly amazing abilities of birds.  Each show is scheduled to coincide with the time of year when you can see or hear the featured bird.
LENGTH: 2 minutes
COST: FREE

Jay Allison, Executive Director/Producer, Atlantic Public Media, delivered an amazing benediction at the Public Radio Program Directors Conference.

Here is a particularly insightful comment about paying for content:

John Barth of PRX tells me when he talks to stations about great new content he hears back, “Well, we’re not going to pay for anything.” I’m sure that’s none of you here. It’s those other stations, but . . . excuse me? Is content not the most important thing to pay for? Even in a financial crisis? Especially in a financial crisis? Isn’t that all our listeners really care about?

And, another thing. Aren’t we accusing our non-supportive listeners of the same thing? Taking our content and not paying for it? We chastise the 90 percent who don’t honor our content with their support. We have whole pledge drives devoted to that theme, and yet we’re doing the same thing.
