Requests for the Transmission Times Arts Special

From Katie Semro –

I am an independent audio producer and asking if you would help me with a project I’m doing on the Arts and the Pandemic.

Since mid-March, I’ve been making the podcast Transmission Times using audio diaries from people around the world about life during the pandemic. Now I’m planning a special episode with the voices of Performing Artists and Artists, and I am asking artists of all kinds to do one recording answering four questions for me. Would you be up for recording your answers?

All you need to do is record your answers to the questions below on a smartphone and email them to me at ksemro@gmail.com, or call 847-354-4163 and leave your answers as a voicemail.
  1. What impact has this pandemic had on your life?
  2. What role is your art playing for you during this time?
  3. What influence is the pandemic having on your art?
  4. What are you missing the most?

Please send your recordings by September 15th. Thank you!

The details:

When you record please include the date, where you live, and what kind of artist you are, including your name is optional. The stories will be anonymous on the podcast.

If you are using a smartphone Apps like Voice Memos for iPhone and ARS for android work well. Then email the recording to me at ksemro@gmail.com — this can usually be done right from the app.

Typically people record for 3 – 6 minutes, but the recordings can be as long or short as you want. Don’t worry about mistakes I will edit these out, just speak from the heart.

I hope to collect a lot of responses and will fit as many as I can into the podcast, and the podcast episode may be broadcast on the radio. All of the replies will be saved in the Transmission Times Archive to document this time for future generations.

Thank you so much for your help with this project!

If you have any questions, technical or otherwise, please let me know by email or call 603-969-6454
