Watch out it’s a drive by!!

Scott Lo The Driveby Show Interactive Audio Contribution

Scott is asking you, the ds106radio community listener, for short, potentially interactive .mp3 audio files that he can incorporate into his broadcast. He’s looking for fun and original items and elements that will serve to engage both himself and his listeners in educational, entertaining, and meaningful ways.

I created this recording entirely on GarageBand using their sound effects and the Twilight Zone Intro song that I took from youtube last week.

The Drive By

Short post this morning, but last night on my way home from work, I did a short drive-by reflection. I was thinking about connections and how those impact those around us. It’s in two segments, but edited into one file. The only major editing I did was to compress the files so the sound didn’t clip during playback. You can listen below.

Audio Submissions for the @scottlo The Driveby Show

In follow-up to the Scott Lo (@scottlo) request for .mp3 audio submissions (see “Audio Assignment 985: Scott Lo The Driveby Show Interactive Audio Contribution “ for his new #ds106radio The Driveby Show show (avlid RAS syndrome by not using acronyms!), here are some files that I’ve posted:

Apparently it’s the weekend (Thursday, Frida) in Saudi Arabia today and tomorrow, so Scott was not driving to work today. Keep your eye on the Twitter and #ds106radio for the next instalment of the @scottlo The Driveby Show show. As I understand it, we should get it hear at about 10:30 pm on Friday.

Scott Lo The Driveby Show Interactive Audio Contribution

In what promises to be yet another wonderful ‘slice of life’ internet production, our friend-in-the-field, Scott Lo (@scottlo), has launched (at 6000 RPMs!) The Driveby Show on our very own #ds106radio. Each morning on his way to work in Saudi Arabia (or alternatively, on those mornings when Scott feels so inclined) Scott will broadcast his commute from home to work place, sharing his early morning reflections or his previous day’s learnings, accompanied by a nice background mix and selected classic engine revs from The Yaris.

Scott is asking you, the ds106radio community listener, for short, potentially interactive .mp3 audio files that he can incorporate into his broadcast. He’s looking for fun and original items and elements that wil serve to engage both himself and his listeners in educational, entertaining, and meaningful ways. 

Create an audio file (say a minute to three minutes in length) and either post it to soundcloud, or email it directly to Scott at scottloradio at gmai dot com. Then tune in to ds106radio to hear Scott and his take on the contributions from listeners, and how they relate to life. You, too, can listen to your own content shared from the other side of the world in real time. And we can all learn from that.  :-)

The #ds106radio @scottlo Driveby Show. He’s in a Yaris.

In what promises to be yet another wonderful ‘slice of life’ internet production, our friend-in-the-field, Scott Lo (@scottlo), has launched (at 6000 RPMs!) The Driveby Show.

‘Casting early in the morning from his considerately time-shifted home base of Saudi Arabia, after a bowl of his favourite Grape Nuts cereal, Scott begins his day with his friendly voice, sharing his thoughts over the ds106radio airwaves as he heads off to work in The Yaris*.

If you’ve not yet tuned in, you have only to dial in to experience the barrels of black gold that Scott is pumping out. Get the down-lo on the lo-down every day that he broadcasts, arriving here in the EDT at 10:30 pm. Note: We spring-ed forward here Sunday morning, so you folks need to refer to it with the D and not the S for then next nine months or so!

While the complete format new show is still evolving (we want an interview with the Urdu Tea-Master some day), Scott has indicated that he will accept listener contributions for inclusion in the DRIVEBY SHOW. There is now a ds106radio.us Audio Assignment in support of this effort, “Audio Assignment 985: Scott Lo The Driveby Show Interactive Audio Contribution “. In an effort to support this new series on #ds106radio, Scott will find a short 3-minute audio clip later today in his email when he awakes. You’ll have to listen in to hear what he makes of it.

As always, when Invoking Enthusiastic Participation, please be sure to always Practice Safe Broadcasting!!

*A note regarding The Yaris.

Were it not for the fact that I’d had a rental car just last week (for the first time in years) I would not have had a clue what Scott was going on about when he prepended his characteristic “the” to the utterance Yaris. As it turned out, I had just driven in one (and my thanks go out to @timmmmyboy, @mbransons, @DrGarcia, @noiseprofessor for their company and the info about where to find the fuel door release switch!) and so I’ve had that context to frame my imagination when Scott mentions it. That, and a coincidental yet synchronistic re-watching that same weekend of Code 46, where Tim Robbins drives a solitary compact car on huge, abandoned desert highways.
