The Skate, Kath Weider-Roos

Kevin Bushey, a true ‘rink-rat’ as he puts it, and keeper of Yost Arena, describes the sounds of the ice rink.

From the Sounds of the State series on Michigan Radio, a collaborative project with the Stamps School of Art & Design and Michigan Radio. Miniature audio vignettes featuring the sounds of Michigan - places, memories and experiences from all over the state. 

Julie Shapiro, Executive Producer of RN's Creative Audio Unit (including this show and its sister program, Soundproof), guides a tour through some of her favorite "radio moments," collected over the decade plus she spent as artistic director of the Third Coast International Audio Festival. As she offers up these sonic gems, Julie shares thoughts about how and why radio and music have such a deeply visceral effect on listeners.
