Welcome to "Rapidly Rotating Records", Glenn Robison's weekly, one-hour radio program of "toe-tapping music from rapidly rotating 78 RPM records of the 1920s and 30s", broadcast Sunday evenings at 6:00 PM over KISL FM 88.7 Avalon.

This week's show is all about radio, radio bands and radio personalities and is dedicated to the participants in the Transom Traveling Radio Story Workshop, being hosted by KISL. Transom channels new work and new voices to public radio and public media and you can find out more about the organization at www.transom.org. Given Catalina's radio history, which goes back to 1903 and Avalon's Space Telegraph Wireless Station, it's very fitting that the workshop be held here. Eight up-and-coming radio producers from across the country have arrived on the island, kicking off a week-long radio workshop taught by Rob Rosenthal, lead instructor of the Transom Story Workshop. Assisting in the workshop will be David Weinberg, heard regularly on American Public Media's Marketplace program and producer/host of Random Tape, heard on KISL. Also assisting will be Station Manager David "Marko" Markowitz and Jordan Monroe, KISL's Director of Community Outreach. The participants will be spreadiug out across the island this week to conduct interviews with islanders of note and will be presenting their completed interviews on Friday evening, so you'll want to be sure to tune in for that. So as a special welcome to everyone associated with the Transom workshop, and with best wishes for a spectacularly successful week, tonight's show is all about radio.
