This is the most inspiring radio story I've heard in a long time - it's the culmination of everything I've written for the advocating a life of arts and literature. If you click it, you should listen to the story instead of reading the provided type. That's all - I'll let it speak for itself. (Hint: this is the Massachusetts high school producing the In the Aeroplane Over the Sea play. Wanna go?)

Also, I went to the Dordt animation graphics end-of-semester showcase a few weeks ago and had a blast and laughed and vomited and all that (more blasts than vomits) but I noticed that the ones that were really solid all around for content, concept, timing, technical ability and communication etc. the REALLY good ones, and not just the ones that got outrageous points because "Hahaha! What the hell? Ha!" had the music to their pieces end appropriately, with or without a fade. Ads and promo. spots on the internet are phasing out the TV commercial so, if you have any hand in it, please DO NOT cut the audio abruptly when your fifteen seconds is up. It's jarring to the viewer and, especially when you're using someone elses music (which you probably are), please respect them enough to not cut the timeline at some random spot thinking that the viewer's mind won't be bothered because our attention switches over so fast.
