With the podcast acting as another means of promotion, we devised a skit/informational audio session in regards to our proposal in positive additions for the derelict use of the Arts Quad. Because of the proposal based approach we decided to pursue for our Postcard/Podcast assignments, the idea of a narrative format seemed a suitable way to get across what Cris, Lee, and myself had in mind for a revitalization policy on the UW campus.

The podcast can be utilized as both a radio promotion, as well as acting as an audio proposal for campus representatives/interested parties.  This could help show that student awareness is evident towards the space that we occupy, and also in the potential for student based initiatives in positive redevelopment of campus planning.

This radio ad is for a student run campaign to raise awareness and instigate change surrounding the issue of available washrooms in East Campus Hall. The audio consists of fragments from interviews with students, a flushing toilet and David Bowie's "Space Oddity" playing softly in the background.

From the people who brought you “The Dissastisfied Art Student’s Guide to the Lounges of UW,” comes the new self-help podcast ”Cyrano Romance Guides Presents: The Lonely Art Student’s Guide to Romantic Situations at the University of Waterloo.”   Perhaps the most helpful guide for the pursuit of on-campus love ever created, our first installment walks hand-in-hand with you through your first encounter with that special someone from the Environmental Studies department. You will meet Cyrano, a true romantic of mixed European decent, who will help you every step of the way. He will provide you with foolproof introductions, one liners and small talk, ways to look romantically into their eyes, and closers that are sure to secure you that date. Each section provides you with the words to woo your interest if they are smiling, and a phrase to get you back on track if they are reacting “like crap.” Flamenco music plays during the instructions and fades out to distinguish the phrases that you need to repeat.

Below is a list of the tracks which are referred to during the recording. And REMEMBER! Keep your mp3 device hidden, for you would not want your romantic pursuit to know that you are listening to Cyrano, for they would surely fall in love with him instead.

01- Introduction to the Pod Cast 02- Introduce yourself 03- positive response- One liners and small talk 04- negative response-  One Liners and small talk, get back on track 05- positive response- Passionate looks into your love’s eyes 06- negative response-   Grabbing at straws, Passionate looks into your love’s eyes  07- positive response- Securing the date 08- negative response- the face saving exit.

Stemming off from our postcard project, our podcast is the next step in our campaign to raise awareness about the University’s lack of initiative to replace or conserve damaged artworks, or to add to its meager collection. Our podcast is broken up into six smaller audio files plus an introduction, each featuring a different work of public sculpture around the University of Waterloo’s campus (the most prevalent and public form of campus art). Individually, each clip elaborates on the history and evolving story of the piece, as well as gives insight into efforts (or absences of effort) towards conservation. As a whole, they form a guided tour around the campus. There are a number of ways that people can explore our podcast. People may join our group on facebook and _listen to the files there__, or visit our entry page on myspace. Both of these websites are popular social networking tools

Our podcast is a two minute clip of the dog burning indicent on Waterloo's campus in 1968 (to learn about it listen to the audio below). The point of this podcast is the get University of Waterloo students to start thinking about the state of activism on our campus. We created a display case to house our podcast and we set up our display in the SLC so that people could listen and respond to the podcast. The display case holds a disc-man with our podcast, a hot dog and a cork board for responses. The above picture is from our experience displaying the hot dog.

We have provided a link to our blog on the sheets people tack onto our display at www.yourwaterloothoughts.wordpress.com. People can also write their thoughts on this blog if they missed our display in the SLC.

Via _wordpress? myspace?_ people may download our files as mp3s and upload them to their own personal mp3 players, music phones, etc. so that they may experience the podcast as an actual guided walking tour, and see the artwork—or absence thereof.

Also could send recordings of our podcast on CDs to faculty members
