If you have an interest in music, news, radio engineering, live remote broadcast engineering, show production, or public affairs programming, WSCA 106.1 FM Portsmouth Community Radio wants you to get radio active. WSCA also has many opportunities for volunteers in off-air roles including marketing, fundraising, administration, IT, social media, and new music review and management. The first step for all those wanting to get involved with WSCA is to attend a Module 1 – Station Introduction training session. After completion of Module 1, you will be ready to volunteer for many of the off-air and behind-the-scenes roles at WSCA. For those who want to continue on to do show production, become an on-air DJ/show host, or get involved with more technical roles at WSCA, Module 2 - Station and FCC Policies training is required.

In order to streamline and simplify the training process, the next Module 1 and 2 training sessions will be conveniently offered on Monday July 8th with Module 1 training from 6 to 7PM, followed by Module 2 training from 7 to 8:30PM. Training sessions are held at the WSCA studios at 909 Islington Street.

To register for each training session, email training@wscafm.org or call 603-430-9722. More information on WSCA volunteer opportunities and how to become an on-air show host, is available on our website at www.wscafm.org

When Norman Corwin’s name is mentioned to people today, most do not recognize it; but take a few minutes to search “Norman Corwin” on the Internet and you will discover the cultural impact of this man.

He was responsible for some of the greatest radio shows ever produced during the 1930s and 40s, shows like We Hold These Truths, in honor of the 150th anniversary of the U.S. Bill of Rights. Then there was On a Note of Triumph, in celebration of V-E Day, May 8, 1945. Another, Fourteen August, was broadcast on V-J Day, August 14, 1945. In addition to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, some of the greatest Broadway, film, and radio stars appeared on these programs.

On a lighter note, Corwin wrote such wonderfully entertaining programs as The Plot to Overthrow Christmas, Descent of the Gods, The Lonesome Train, The Undecided Molecule, Home for the 4th, and God and Uranium . . . over 100 programs in total.

I had the pleasure and honor of interviewing Norman Corwin during Audio Theatre (Tuesdays, 6 p.m.) on October 12, 2005. Tune in on Tuesday, January 3, from 6 to 8 p.m., when I will replay my phone interview with Mr. Corwin and feature several of his radio treasures for your edification and enjoyment. In addition, I urge you to view the Academy Award-winning movie A Note of Triumph: The Golden Age of Norman Corwin (2005) featuring Norman Corwin, Robert Altman, Walter Cronkite, Norman Lear, and Studs Terkel.
