Some modest proposals

Thanks to Richard and Terik for the great template for my proposals!

NAME: Trevor Hagstrom

CONTACT INFORMATION: 347-232-7430

CLASS: WNSR Radio Lab

TITLE: The Electric Easy Chair

HOST(S): Dj Dilly Dally

GENRE: Music and Talk

LENGTH: 1 hour

FREQUENCY: Bi-weekly

TOTAL NUMBER OF SHOWS: 5-6

PITCH:

The Electric Easy Chair is tongue-in-cheek Dj set that explores "psychedelic" music, specifically rare or hard to find B-sides from 60's and 70's psychedelic rock gods ( King Crimson, 13th Floor Elevators, The Move, etc). The fictional host will provide background on the artists with an informed, but chilled-out perspective. Buddy Love, a Baba Booey esque co-host will provide occasional commentary. Every set will have a guest who will chose a song and be interviewed. Every set will have a different theme. The first two (to be recorded next week) will be a pilot show and an election special. Further shows will explore topics such as Regaee, Junk Food, Cops, Music Festivals or Lucid Dreams.

Who is the audience for the show?

Ideally the show will be funny enough to entertain those not interested in psychedelic music, but for those who are... it's an our of escapism into a better time with talk relevant to today.

STAFFING REQUIREMENTS: I got this one covered.

We will work with The New School Free Press to make our lives easier and to breathe new life into their stories, giving them a wider audience as journalists.

Hey Trevor, I think your psychedelic rock show is a great idea. We should get together and come up with some ideas for comedic skits and songs. I would love to help, because this kind of music is my bag.
