31 min
Some very polite ‘bandits’ arrive unexpected at a dinner party and fill their (car) boots.
Calling All Cars aired from 29 Nov 1933 until 8 Sep 1939 and originated on the West coast over the Columbia Broadcasting System. The show was sponsored by the Rio Grande Oil Company which was a part of the Sinclair Oil Corporation. The show only ran in areas where Rio Grande "Cracked" gasoline was sold.
The writer-director of the show was William N Robson. Each episode was dramatization of a true crime story, how each crime was solved and justice served. Episodes were introduced mainly by officers of the Los Angeles Police Department. Sgt Jesse Rosenquist, a police dispatcher was a part of the entire run of the series.

On July 2, 1992 the once-gigantic Newfoundland cod fishery was shut down. Twelve years later, 70,000 people had left, and coastal communities were struggling to survive. The blow to the culture was as dramatic as the economic effect, but how do you measure cultural change? Perhaps with a centuries-old Nfld “set dance”.
Celebrating the life and works of the late Chis Brookes.

Teetering on a tripwire between the Priest and the Para-Medicinal Urinal, this work of recorded material plundered between 2018/20, composed September(21) during a locked in covid syndrome. Incorporating inter personal archive spanning 25 years of ripped and clipped sounds, real-time recordings, covert mobile conversations and live synth.
This audio work focuses on memory, nostalgia, psychosis, faith and satire, pushing and pulling the process of sampling, collage, cutup techniques and repetition into shattered fragments from some knackered audio pen-womb-man-ship shape shift...

22min Episode 1 of 5
Every Voice spotlights the vibrant stories and perspectives that reflect the whole of the American musical experience. There are many different kinds of classical music, depending on where you are in the world. While this music typically preserves the traditions of a given society, classical music in America remains wedded to its Western European roots. This show explores why — and what America’s classical music really sounds like. Through interviews, historical investigation, and personal storytelling, Terrance McKnight unearths the hidden voices that have been shaping our musical traditions all along. This debut season examines the representation of Blackness in opera. While character flaws are universal, stereotypes often fall along racial lines. We look at the loneliness, jealousy, self-loathing, and cultural appropriation associated with African characters in 18th and 19th century operas by Mozart and Verdi, introducing the African-American personalities found in the operas of Atlanta-based composer Dr. Sharon Willis.
