We started a morning show today. Well, Lydia and Gabrielle did:
That opening is pretty great:
Fun fact, I used to do a morning show that used “Morning Mood,” which is a part of Opus 23 of Peer Gynt. And now there’s “In the Hall of the Mountain King.”
I wonder if they know the meaning of the song.
This was their first episode, so it’ll be interesting to see where they go with it. That’s always the challenge, grow something new. Three of the four other shows they are producing right now have been around before we all got here. Last term we launched The Toss Up, a sports talk show, out of thin air. And soon we’ll have a night show to go along with this morning show.
It is cool to see students producing work, creating new things. But to watch them start a new program from scratch, that’s particularly gratifying.
Today passed quickly. I spent no time in front of a computer today. There was a meeting and then that show and then another appointment and then a critique session and some other batch of errands and that was a full day. I sat in a parking lot and started reading the day’s news at the end of the day. That took almost all night. And, now, here we are.
