Freedom Radio is a small network of stations broadcasting to the military stationed in that Middle Eastern country, officially a part of the AFRTS. It started almost 4 years ago (October 2003) through the efforts of Chris Eder and 4 of his buddies. The lugged all the equipment needed to run a radio and television station from Ramstein Airbase in Germany all the way to Iraq. Chris contacted me a few days ago to ask if I would help out with a few voiceover pieces he was using for a 36 hour special countdown of “The Greatest Rock Songs of All Time” for Memorial Day.
I said “yes” and recorded several scripts that he sent me right away. He got in touch with me originally through the recommendation of my friend Charlie Glaize, and so asked if I knew anyone else who might be willing to help. Needless to say, I posted his request on the VO-BB and as I expected, a bunch of my friends and colleagues there stepped up to the plate immediately. Now, we’re getting all of the pieces Chris needs recorded and delivered back to him so that he can assemble his special show in time to get it on the air by the end of the month.
If you’d like to know a bit more about Chris, I’ve added his blog to my blogroll on the left under Other Blogs. As you’ll see if you check out this post, Chris really knows how to find publicity. Good for you, Chris. I’m honored and grateful to have even a small part of what you’re doing. Thank you and God bless you.
