Shockwave Radio Theater was broadcast for 28 years on Fresh Air Radio, the community radio station KFAI, 90.3FM Minneapolis, 106.7FM St. Paul. Much of Shockwave Radio is archived on archive.org 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.archive.org/bookmarks/David%20Romm )〕 or on the audio page of Dave Romm's portal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.romm.org/audio/index.html )〕 Podcasts of some shows are available as Baron Dave makes them.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://romm.org/podcast/Dave%20Romm%27s%20Portal/Podcast/Podcast.html )〕 The name of the program was Shockwave. To distinguish the broadcasts from the Macromedia software (which came much later), it's often referred to as Shockwave Radio. To expand further and to emphasize original productions, the full name of the program was used: Shockwave Radio Theater. Shockwave Radio Theater specialized in science fiction humor, but diverged into science fact, strange music of any genre and just general weirdness. Baron Dave declared that "Politics is a subset of science fiction humor." The program occasionally interviewed politicians including then-Governor Jesse Ventura and the station's Congressman Keith Ellison. Political commentary on a progressive slant was common. Quite often the show would share time with Jerry Stearns' Sound Affects: A Radio Playground to present hour-long science fiction radio theater programs. ==Origins== In the summer of 1979, three broadcasters on a new station wanted a program to showcase science fiction music. They named it after John Brunner's novel Shockwave Rider. Everett Forte, Chris Dronen and Charles E. Hamilton III volunteered on Fresh Air Radio. Within a few weeks, Charles had left for greener pastures. Everett and Chris went to a local science fiction convention and asked if anyone wanted to help. The next show, September 19, 1979,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.archive.org/details/SRT19790919 )〕 five science fiction fans showed up at the station and were interviewed by Chris. This is the date used for anniversary, but Everett, Chris, and Charles are owed much thanks. Dave Romm (now Baron Dave) was one of the people on the first show, and is now the main producer and host of the program. Many people have contributed their talents as writer/performer over the years, and many more have been interviewed or have been part of a Shockwave program in some way. Everyone associated with the program, either as a broadcaster or a listener, is known as a Shockwave Rider. Unfortunately, the show went off the air in 2007 due to a reshuffling of KFAI's schedule. Romm has some podcasts recorded during the summer of 2008 on his site. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shockwave Radio Theater」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
