Old School

We will be creating a radio show from the world of your group's dystopian novel. Have you ever heard an old fashioned radio show? Many shows were very theatrical, some were informative, others were comical and entertaining. I believe that your show can combine some of the old and some of the new. Use this post to brainstorm for your book.

Write the title of your book and write what kinds of segments or ideas you think might work for that book in a radio broadcast. Think about the world of the book including the characters, government, media or lack of, music, values, priorities, news, etc.

Ex. The Handmaid's Tale
  • religious music
  • weather segment
  • interview with Angels regarding their position and training they receive...

I think that we could have a news type broadcast saying that there have been an unusually high number of succesful embryos this month. We could also have a fake history show in which we discuss how ridiculous society was before humans were grown with a definate purpose.

Brave New World. We could have a history show that could talk about all of the "crazy" things people used to do and how much better everything is in the "present day"

I think we could interview different people who live in the country to tell about what they think of their life. Also they could read out the fake data. They could also bash capitalists.

We could talk about the weird things that they do in this book. We can talk about how it would have been weirder back whent eh book was written but now we have actually heard of some of this stuff.

I think it would need a segment on pollution level for the day/week or whatever. We could have a segment about sexuality/Dr. Phil sort of segment. There could also be a segment that repeats some of the phrases that are instilled into peoples' heads in the book.

During the commercial break we could advertise products such as soma and contraceptives.
We could also do a segment on the progress of embryo development.

We could just discuss interesting parts of the book, and read several passages. We would just give a brief overview since their are parts of the book that are very slow. Then we could just each give our personal opinions of the book
