Cake and Space Magic

Host Colin Foss, playing his new Theremin

The future is now. Or the future was in 1919. The Theremin, the most advanced electronic intstrument of its time, has finally come back into style. As the picture above demonstrates, one plays the Theremin by placing one's hands around the instrument. A little bit of magic happens that might be explained through feedback, but we're still not sure, and tones are emitted. Brian Robison, composer and Thereminator, speaks about his love affair with this curio.

Also, Cake. We give a resume of the debate around Middlebury's Spring Concert and why MCAB (Middlebury College Activities Board) and WRMC got so much flak for their decision to bring Cake. Field reporting at its best.
