Audio presentation ideas

1. After the recent gas price hike, the number of Las Cruceans who have taken to biking to work and other places have gone up considerably, says the manager of a city bike store. His account is interesting, and he's a good speaker too. It should be a cute piece with his quotes and ambient sounds from his store, plus bites from a few customers. Other sounds may be added.

2. We have a ceramic artist in town who learned her art from a reclusive pottery exponent in White Oaks. Their works are really beautiful and each piece is unique. Unfortunately, hand-crafted artwork is way too expensive for the ordinary buyer who has a cheap alternative in made-in-China, albeit run-of-the-mill, stuff. The city-based artist may be interviewed on her experience in ceramics and the reason why her exclusive art has not become a vocation. The downtown museum may be the apt interview venue. Other sounds may be added.

3. An avid Lakers fan, who's also a die-hard Obama supporter, watches the two together on his humongous television screen whenever they are on air at the same time. He simply cannot sacrifice one for the other. And he records them both for repeated viewing at a later time. When he talks about the two things close to his heart, he's hilariously serious. Of course he doesn't realize that. Sound clips from his recorded programs may be part of the background score. Other sounds may be added.

Your background in journalism certainly comes through in these story ideas. They each offer a unique and/or personal perspective on larger sociocultural issues. I appreciate too that you have started to consider ways that you could incorporate a multitude of other audio components to make these richer listening experiences.
