Professor Michele Hilmes is retiring at the end of this Spring semester (May 2015), after a highly distinguished career of nearly 30 years in the media studies field – more than 20 of those years spent in Antenna’s home, the Department of Communication Arts at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. To mark the occasion, a few of her students and colleagues at UW-Madison put together this radio documentary/podcast in her honor. After all, what better way to celebrate Michele than with the very medium she has spent so much of her career investigating and championing? http://blog.commarts.wisc.edu/2015/05/10/honoring-hilmes-radioed-voices-podcast/ Written, Produced, and Directed By: Andrew Bottomley Co-Producers: Jeremy Morris and Christopher Cwynar Editors: Jeremy Morris and Andrew Bottomley Sound Mix: Jeremy Morris Host: Andrew Bottomley Featuring (in alphabetical order): Megan Sapnar Ankerson Chris Becker Ron Becker Jonathan Bignell Aniko Bodroghkozy Norma Coates Kyle Conway Christopher Cwynar Brian Fautuex David Goodman Jonathan Gray Tona Hangen Eric Hoyt Kit Hughes Josh Jackson Jason Jacobs Henry Jenkins Derek Johnson Michael Kackman Danny Kimball Bill Kirkpatrick Derek Kompare Shanti Kumar Kate Lacey Elana Levine Lori Lopez Amanda Lotz Jason Loviglio Janet McCabe Allison McCracken Cynthia Meyers Jason Mittell Jeremy Morris Sarah Murray Darrell Newton Lisa Parks Eleanor Patterson Josh Shepperd Matt Sienkiewicz Lynn Spigel Katherine Spring Jonathan Sterne Derek Vaillant Neil Verma Alyx Vesey Tim Wall Jennifer Hyland Wang Music: “Odyssey” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY 3.0 “Crashed” by Stereofloat Licensed under Creative Commons BY-ND 3.0 Old Time Radio Clips (in order of appearance): This is Your Life (TV) The Jack Benny Program, “How Jack Found Rochester” Martha Deane Show, “Dewey Wins” The Burns & Allen Show, “Gracie Allen Inc.” NBC Chimes The Mercury Theatre on the Air, “The War of the Worlds” The Mercury Theatre on the Air, “The Fall of the City” Suspense, “Sorry, Wrong Number” The Shadow, “Phantom Voice” CBS Radio Mystery Theater, “Them” Gang Busters, “Crime Wave Special Report” Lux Radio Theatre, “The Thin Man” The Thin Man (film) Hollywood Hotel, “One in a Million” The Movie Parade, “Design for Living” Hootenanny of the Air Amos ‘n’ Andy, “Andy the Actor” Fibber McGee and Molly, “Fireball McGee” The Texaco Star Theatre (Fred Allen), “Amateur of the Month” The Aldrich Family, “Girl Trouble” The Chisholm Trail Transatlantic Call: People to People, “Women in Britain” We Hold These Truths On a Note of Triumph Serial (podcast) Special thanks to Jonathan Gray and Derek Johnson, as well as all the participants for recording themselves.
