The prairie's original alternative Thanksgiving pageant
KUMM Studio A (thanks to Cory Funk) |
KUMM definitely camped around the alternative music trend of the early 90s. Still broadcasting alternative music on the prairie now at 700 watts (according to wiki) on the FM, KUMM also has extended its reach streaming on the internets. It appears they have automated a bit as I have yet to hear a live host on the stream today. Their website seems to be a bit stale. DJ list is current. Looks like preferred communications come via Facebook.
Being alternative as we were, a handful of other KUMM DJs and I decided to do a live radio drama based upon a Thanksgiving theme. Pretty alternative for 1994, huh? The details are sketchy, but I wrote up a script which seems to be a riff off the Charlie Brown specials. Then one night on somebody's time slot it was performed live in Studio A between songs. I was in my domicile listening and recording the show. To my knowledge this may be the only radio play preserved from KUMM. For all I know it might be the only one ever produced.
So here it is for your enjoyment- A KUMM Thanksgiving Pageant. (now with even less noise)
