Subject: WFMU Radio Theater call for submissionsPLEASE FORWARD FAR AND WIDEHello, everyone. I’m writing now because Jason Grote, Danny
Manley and I are attempting to put together a radio play program for
the legendary freeform radio station WFMU (wfmu.org for the
uninitiated) and are looking for *recorded* radio plays and monologues, weird interviews,
rants, found audio, etc. The more idiosyncratic the better.

We’ll consider everything, but we’re not after 1920s nostalgia acts so
much as sound-driven art that redefines and expands the idea of what
radio theater can be. If you’re unsure whether or not what you’ve got
is a legitimate radio play, it probably is what we’re looking for.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR RECORDED AUDIO MATERIAL ONLY.
Lo-fi, do-it-yourself stuff is OK. It should be suitable for
broadcast, which means that (1) it should not contain any obscenities
as defined by the FCC, (2) you should be able to clear the rights
yourself, or it should be in public domain, and (3) it should be
somewhat short, from 1-55 minutes. Under 20 minutes is ideal. Most
but not all silence is generally to be avoided.

We are not looking for unsolicited scripts at this time but we’ll let
you know if that changes.

Submissions:

Mp3/Zip/other files should be posted to Divshare, Sendspace, or
whichever such site you prefer, and links emailed to
jason at jasongrote dot com.

CDs or other recorded materials should be send to:

Jason Grote - WFMU radio theater project
c/o New Dramatists
424 West 44th Street
NYC, NY 10036

Deadline: if you’ve got something, please send it immediately, but if
you’re looking to prepare something: July 8, 2008.
