TRIPPIN in the COMM Parking Lot

The i-Trip is a little bitty gadget that connects to your i-Pod so you can broadcast from your car radio using an unused frequency. Here's our 464 class checking out our i-Trip signal. "Sounds good," most remark. But Anna (pictured holding the mic) adds, it clips off the high notes of music. Carl (being interviewed) is our resident i-Trip expert for the day. We are recording the process behind our "car broadcast" today - a mini disc player recording a podcast on a car radio. Now that's surreal. And thanks John for letting us borrow your pod and trip.

All agree that the broadcast sounds pretty good today - and the radio signal is strong. What an excuse for getting out of the audio lab!

Debut of Car Radio Docs

464 students completed their documentaries themed around the idea of car radio - past and present, with subthemes related to issues of mobility, memories, community, music and new means of programming distribution (you know, ways to listen). Click overview to listen to our car radio docs as well as the complete Sonimobility series (1 features the car radio). If you are on the run just download and podcast - or just plug in your i-Trip. Happy Trails to Podville. Special thanks to Tom Hughes and Josh Gumiela for all their assistance and guidance to 464 students and the professor!!
