AV Smackdown … The Podcast

Huffduffed by adactio on May 25th, 2009

On May 6th, at WNYC’s new Jerome L. Greene Performance Space, we opened up an age old can of worms. Jad and Robert faced off over which medium is superior — television or radio. This American Life’s Ira Glass was the referee. There were stunning jabs, wicked uppercuts, and even the occasional low blow. In TV’s corner, Robert “The Krusher” Krulwich hit hard with stunning video images, but audio-savant Jad “Boom Boom” Abumrad pounded his opponent with the power of sound. The bout went five hard rounds and had to go to the cards for a decision. Tears were shed, and after a short intermission Jad and Robert sat down with Ira to discuss the challenges of working in both TV and Radio.

  1. War of the Worlds - Radiolab

    I spotted other Huffduffers linking to Radiolab and it reminded me of this episode from March 2008. War of the Worlds is one of my all time favourite stories, and I always remember listening to the spoof radio broadcast and thinking how clever it was. So I was very pleased to see this:

    "An examination of the power of mass media to create panic. In Radio Lab’s very first live hour, we take a deep dive into one of the most controversial moments in broadcasting history - Orson Welles’ 1938 radio play about Martians invading New Jersey. And we ask: Why did it fool people then? And why has it continued to fool people since? From Santiago, Chile to Buffalo, New York to a particularly disastrous evening in Quito, Ecuador."

  2. Consuming content on all our screens - Saturday Extra - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    No longer is the remote control the only gadget we have in our hand as we watch television.

    An increasing number of people are using a second screen simultaneously, either a smart phone, lap top or tablet computer, and advertisers and marketers as well as content producers are inventing new ways to take advantage of the television revolution.

    Guests:

  3. WNYC RadioLab - Numbers

    "Radiolab dedicates this hour to an exploration of numbers. Those pesky little things on the chalkboard. Where do they come from and what do they really do for us? We bring you stories on how they confuse us, connect us, and reveal secrets about us."
