Here's the Tower episodes

  • Sunrise Agriculture Report





    Episode 2
    When I was growing up in Kentucky, the current prices for agricultural commodities would be announced on the radio and television each morning.
    Every damn morning when we were getting ready for school, eating breakfast or sitting in the back of Mr. Maguire’s station wagon, we would would hear a report a lot like what I’ve tried to recreate here.
    I presume farmers get this information online now, but despite that, using the internet to find an old video or audio clip to use as a reference for recording this episode was virtually impossible.
    I eventually found a clip from WAGM-TV in Presque Island, Maine, which was surprisingly similar to what I remembered from my childhood in Louisville. I’m suspecting that the report John Logan was reading in that video – and that I borrowed phrasing extensively from – came from a wire service and every local station simply read the same thing.
    I hope you enjoy my tribute to the forgotten crossroads of agriculture and broadcasting. ➸ Starting June 30th, only the most recent 36 episodes will be available in free podcast apps.

  • Introducing: Here’s the Tower
    Episode 1

    Hi, I’m Scott Ritcher, publisher of K Composite Magazine, songwriter with the band Metroschifter and the losing candidate in a Kentucky election or two.

    I moved to Stockholm, Sweden, in 2009 where I have worked with design in the magazine business and produced a podcast series with my friend Karin Olli-Nilsson called Snuggling With the Enemy. If you’ve heard that podcast, you know I love sound effects and the magic of audio.

    Now, I’d like you to join me for a new, experimental audio series called Here’s the Tower. This is the first episode.

    Most podcasts spend the first minute trying to sell you mattresses, coffee and website tools, but Here’s the Tower is over and out in that time. That’s because each episode is just one minute long.

    If you enjoy it you can quickly listen again, and if you don’t care for it, then you haven’t really wasted any time.

    New episodes will appear right here every Wednesday. Thanks for joining me on this adventure.
