Radio Sonics
"Sonic IDs" are short sound-rich portraits and stories in rotation throughout the broadcast day of WCAI, the Cape and Islands NPR station. The idea was developed by Atlantic Public Media to get voices from the community on the airwaves. We also received a grant from the National Science Foundation to produce "Science Minutes" - scientists explaining science - which aired as Sonic IDs.
