Story
An historic train puts on the grease paint and starts serving murder mysteries.
Oakiedale Train was produced for the 2006 TCF ShortDocs Challenge: 99 Ways to Tell a Radio Story.
Producer
Ceil Muller considers herself a public radio "lifer." What began in an Antioch College work co-op at Pacific's WBAI-FM in New York turned into a lifetime of trying to capture the ephemeral nature of sound. She has worked for National Public Radio, the National Council for the Traditional Arts, and KQED, among others. Her own The Kiss and the Dying won a 2003 Gracie award from American Women in Radio and TV.
Extra
The Third Coast collaborated with cartoonist Matt Madden on 99 Ways to Tell a Radio Story. The project, inspired by the French literary group Oulipo, asked any/everyone to produce a short audio piece that:
- began with some manifestation of, "To begin with, they never got along;"
- included a pre-recorded voice, rhythmic noise and exclamation
- lasted exactly 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
