Rumble Strip

This is a show about Thanksgiving, and what it sounds like. It is made entirely of your recordings. Thank you everyone for sending me recordings. We have made a show  that sounds like the whole damn country. Or a lot of it.

A couple days ago I asked you to send me some recordings from Thanksgiving. I figured I'd give you a little better sense of what I'm looking for. Happy Thanksgiving all! Erica

Let's make a show about Thanksgiving. I have always wanted to do this, and the time has come.Anyone who is willing, I would love you to record a voice memo this week about your holiday. Stories, anecdotes, songs...I don't know. You don't have to speak in complete sentences. It doesn’t have to be organized. It doesn't have to be funny or important. If you're willing to record some of the holiday ambience, that would also be great. The tv room, the kitchen, the dinner table, the drive or flight to your destination, the door greetings and departures. Anything you feel like recording.Send me the recordings by Sunday, to [email protected] and I will make a show that tries to capture just SOME of our complex feelings and experiences during this DAY OF THANKS. Thank you all so much in advance!Erica 

Music for this show is by Brian Clark, who is awesome. 

Thank you Phil Edfors of Vermont Public for cleaning up the whale recordings. This was no small feat and I am grateful.The whales were recorded for an oceanic soundscape project at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute.
