DD Radio Play 2016 – Time to Brainstorm

I realized the other day that our last radio play was way back in 2013! We tried to pull one together a while back, but everyone was too busy to do all the organizing and editing. Fortunately for everyone, I’ve recently graduated with a history degree virtually guaranteeing my perpetual unemployment, which means I’ve got plenty of time to devote to a project like this!

I thought about putting out a call for scripts right away, but since I’ve never organized one of these before I’d like to throw around some ideas first. Please check out my thread here: http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/forum/topic/177542/

Some things to think about:
- What do we want out of a script?
- How long should we give writers to submit scripts?
- How should we choose a script?
- The companion comic – should we make changes to how we do it?
- How can everyone help?

The Duck does radio plays too?? What doesn't this site have! This is a really interesting idea though, I am excited to see what comes from this!

Wow. This sounds cool! but the amount of work and coordination is going to be daunting. Maybe start with a length of time you want it to run? then the script can be tailored accordingly. You could let a bunch of people submit scripts and pick the one you think works the best. you could open it up to a vote. That would be more complicated, but more democratic. Maybe a Skype session with interested volunteers to hash out details?

I can relate to that History degree thing. But I make a great house husband.
