This week we tune in radio art mash-ups. First tune in Douglas Kahn’s piece “Reagan Speaks for Himself” (1980), in which Kahn carefully edits together Ronald Reagan interviews to concoct a hilarious and surreal story. Then hear Cliff Roth and "The Reagans Speak Out on Drugs," released in 1988. It is an almost seamless re-edit of the the Ron and Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No" speech given by the Reagans in September of 1986. Then tune in Doug Kaplan and his “Ira Glass Speaks for Himself,” a proposed long-form troll radio play in which one of radio’s most recognizable voices is mercilessly edited to tell a mind-boggling, magical realism-core, ambling non-story. Then noted turntablist Christian Marclay is featured, with "His Master's Voice." And finally Transmaniacon MC's Radio4 is featured.

Welcome to "The Radio Art Hour," a show where art is not just on the radio, but is the radio. "The Radio Art Hour" draws from the Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive, an online resource that aims to identify, coalesce, and celebrate historical and contemporary international radio artworks made by artists around the world, created specifically for terrestrial AM/FM broadcast, whether it be via commercial, public, community, or independent transmission. Come on a journey with us as radio artists explore broadcast radio space through poetic resuscitations and playful celebrations/subversions of the complex relationship between senders and receivers in this hour of radio about radio as an art form. "The Radio Art Hour" features introductions from Philip Grant and Tom Roe, and from Wave Farm Radio Art Fellows Karen Werner and Jess Speer. The Conet Project's recordings of numbers radio stations serve as interstitial sounds. Go to wavefarm.org for more information about "The Radio Art Hour" and Wave Farm's Radio Art Archive.
