Marold II Special on WVBI's Live at Five

Post by WVBI »

At 5 this evening, WVBI's Live at five will feature a special program on the Marold II Disaster produced by the students at the BICS Media Lab. It is a very thoughtful recounting of that tragic event put into context with a number of interviews including a very special one with Lawrence McDonough. The students did an outstanding job putting this program together--which included extensive research on the event (resulting in the recovery of additional Marold II artifacts for the BIHS), conducting oral history interviews, writing the script, recording narration and using a digital audio editor to craft all of the audio content into a polished presentation.

You can hear the premier broadcast this evening at 5 right after our news update and again New Year's Day at 5 p.m. by tuning in WVBI at 100.1 on the island or worldwide at www.wvbi.net.

This piece of art, produced by the Students is incredible! The story is so well-presented, well-rounded and sounds just as professional as stories on NPR.

A lovely job from all who participated!

I hope we can rebroadcast this occasionally and looking forward to hearing more from the Students!!
