Review of KUT Fund Raising Spots


Posted by KUT on 31 January 2006.
Testimonial # 1 -- Mike Singley is good b/c it puts the listener "in a place" while listening to KUT. Listening to radio is a very personal endeavor and we all "experinece" our listening in different ways. This experience with Afropop is a positive and very beneficial experience -- and it was made more so by his wonderful impersonation of Georges Colinet. He was well-spoken and very sincere! The only thing I'd change is to have him include how/why HE became a member, rather than just encouraging others to join.
Testimonial # 2 -- Ray Berson was good b/c the guy just couldn't sound more real and more honest! He focused on the importance of KUT's music influence in the community and on his life (and the life of Dardin Smith!). Music has that affect on people and his testimonial nailed it.
Testimonial # 5 -- Lydia Agraz is a good testimonial b/c she mentions the fundraiser! Along with asking others to become members, she explains all the ways the station has benefited her (very good), and why and when she decided when to first join herself. I did feel it may have sounded a little negative to hear her mention that without her support, ME would go away, but overall, this piece was well done .
