Season 3 Episode 2: Chris and Dave’s live “broadcast” from the Carlisle Banquet Hall in Lombard.
This was actually a fake remote broadcast with actual party sound effects to create the illusion of a real party taking place. Dave and I put together the background party atmosphere soundtrack at the College of DuPage radio station sound effects library that morning.
The show was apparently so realistic that listeners actually started to show up in droves to the Carlisle looking for Chris and Dave and the free food. The Carlisle called the radio station to complain about sending people their way as we were packing up for the evening.
This was our version of “War of the Worlds”. Too bad we didn’t get this good of a turnout for our real remote show from the Barn three months earlier! We actually got this idea while listening to all the other Chicago radio stations broadcasting from the Taste of Chicago. We decided to sponsor our own have our own “Taste of the Smorg”.
This is the entire broadcast from that evening.
