The plot of the radio play is developed through the use of sounds and dialogue. For example, Harry shouts at the martians in the mountains when he is upset, instead of looking at them and thinking to himself. When Harry shouts, it shows more emotion than the short story because it clearly shows the reader that he is very upset. Harry’s voice sounds agitated and worried. In the short story, the plot is developed through thoughts. Instead of Harry shouting at the mountains, he quietly thinks to himself. Even though the short story and the radio play say almost exactly the same thing, the short story fails to achieve the same emotion of the radio play. Since the reader does not hear Harry’s voice, they cannot listen to his frustration. The radio play also adds music to create stronger tone. For example, when Harry talks to Cora about about the martian landform names, he says, “Somehow it doesn’t seem right to change those
Over the years, many people all over have listened to the radio for entertainment and information. Radio supplies news, sports, music, talk, and many other options with great ease. However, since television has become so popular lately, people look to it as an alternative to radio for the previously stated options. The reason for this can be linked to the redundancy that radio has encountered by not offering anything new and exciting for people to become interested about. Now, XM radio has solved this problem by giving people something new to look forward to by offering their services to anyone who wants to try something new. XM Radio uses satellites positioned in space to allow people to listen to the radio across the United States without having to be bothered with changing stations. This luxury has gotten consumers and analysts very excited and has been receiving a lot of hype in the media lately. The advanced methods of broadcasting will supply XM Radio with more appealing features to listeners than existing entertainment. As a result, those who are bored with the current condition of radio entertainment may use XM more than FM and AM radio.

Back in the day, music is not readily available online at the tip of your fingertips. Fifty years ago, you would listen to the radio and that’s how you knew what records to buy. Radio stations in large music cities such as Los Angeles, New York or Nashville normally set the standard for the most popular music. New music emerges in their city, than gets released on their local radio stations, and the music becomes a smash hit. This is not the case for the small town radio station of CKLW in Windsor, Ontario. As television was drastically changing the radio industry, CKLW had to change to keep up. This change is what resulted into CKLW- The Big 8, a radio station that created new standards of radio hosting as well as rock and roll music. CKLW influenced not only music throughout North America but the entire music industry such as Bill Drake's "Boss Radio” technique, and how this station influenced its home city of Windsor, Ontario. CKLW evolved from a small city radio station to become “The Big 8” a huge nationwide music icon that was responsible for not only changing the music industry but changing the face of radio forever.

Popular culture is the artistic and creative expression in entertainment and style that appeals to society as whole. It includes music, film, sports, painting, sculpture, and even photography. It can be diffused in many ways, but one of the most powerful and effective ways to address society is through film and television. Broadcasting, radio and television are the primary means by which information and entertainment are delivered to the public in virtually every nation around the world, and they have become a crucial instrument of modern social and political organization. Most of today’s television programming genres are derived from earlier media such as stage, cinema and radio. In the area of comedy, sitcoms have proven the most durable and popular of American broadcasting genres. The sitcom’s success depends on the audience’s familiarity with the habitual characters and the situations
Overall I enjoyed listening to this podcast because I really liked how the speakers cooperated with one another, allowing each person to participate as it was entertaining.

Lastly, one of the creative aspects of this podcast was the music, which was a great component in this podcast because music tends to draws people attention easily.
Recording technology wasn’t always a digital process. Before the 1970s, all recordings depended on capturing a physical analogue sound with microphones. This was done on either tape or disk. Analogue recordings lacked the sonic integrity that the 21st century demanded; it was becoming increasingly problematic and expensive in reducing noise and distortion that plagued analogue recordings. As a result, audio researchers began to study digital conversion techniques. They discovered that digitizing an electrical audio signal consisted of sampling the audio wave thousands of times a second, measuring the peak amplitude of each sample, and then assigning one of a limited number of binary values to each.

In the 1920’s a combination of amplified systems, electrical recording and advent of magnetic recording helped drive on the recording industry for the next couple of centuries. For example in 1963 the audio cassette tape format was introduced and became popular amongst audio enthusiasts. Sony then developed the first digital recording device in 1978 and this was used mainly by professional studio users. The first commercial digital audio player which used compact discs became available in 1988 followed by mini discs in 1992. Digital audio players which used the MP3 format became highly successf...
