Radio Chthulucene 87.9 FM

I’m thinking about potentially making my project a sort of radio show itself. I think it would be really fun if I took inspiration from Welcome to Nightvale (a fictional radio show filled with nonsense from a tiny mysterious town) and maybe wrote someone talking about the news but with a twist. I got some decent mileage out of brainstorming a radio show made for grim reapers, potentially broadcasting the news on particularly influential souls they’ve collected lately, or amusing tools that humans have come up with to try and contact ghosts. I definitely want to make my final project something fun and silly and kind of ridiculous, since I’m a bit tired of writing angsty pieces lately.

Maybe something like:
Hello and welcome back to channel 66.1. Funny, right? Ah.. Well, it’s a play on superstitions about 666 being– okay, okay, explaining the joke kind of ruins it. Anyway, back to the topic of today: how to deal with a client that refuses to die. I mean, I’d suggest poison, personally. But on a more serious note, this is a pretty serious problem. Everyone has dealt with a case like this before, whether the client recently made a diet change and lowered their cholesterol, or they’re in a coma and just won’t let go, so on and so forth.

In terms of thinking about the project, I think it might be interesting to put the transmitter within the triton transfer hub. I’m a transfer student, myself, and I don’t think that resources for transfer students get used nearly enough. Maybe putting the transmitter there could lead people to become more aware of the resources the hub has to offer. Alternatively, I was thinking about putting it somewhere in Muir college, potentially the M.O.M. cafe right below Pines. It’s a nice spot with a welcoming crowd and great coffee, what else does a good spot need? Besides, they have couches and tables, places where people can sit and relax while they listen to music or to the transmitter itself.
