My name is Mary Holt and this is my first blog! Yay! This blog was made to have a record of, and to share with those interested, my experiments! Whatever they may be. My original reason for starting this was to document my "church experiment" on here, which I haven't actually got going yet...I explain below what that is. Last summer I decided to use this blog as an outlet for talking about my radio show that I started at WCBN fm Ann Arbor! It was my first time being a DJ for a radio station and I was very excited about it! I have a different show now, Transformations, and I post my show ever week, or almost every week (which is on the air every Wednesday from 12:30-2pm) and talking about it a bit as well. You can see all of the previous shows in one spot as well by clicking on any of the links above.
My church experiment (which is pretty much on the back-burner now, but I may still do someday) is I am going to visit all the churches, synagogs, Buddhist temples, etc. that I can find in the downtown Ann Arbor area. I'm going to compare each one including how they do things, how the people are different, and how they make me feel. This is not an attempt to choose a church for myself (I really don't have any desire to do so) or to pass judgement on how different churches or religions do things. It is simply an attempt to make objective observations, get to know different kinds of people, and to have fun doing a social experiment of sorts. Currently I'm thinking of posting just voice recordings of myself talking about my experiences and of me interviewing others. I might also write a bit. If you have any suggestions about how to make this a more fun and interesting experience for myself and you, please let me know!
Radio Experiments!
The latest episode of Come On, Wake Up Ann Arbor! Not a lot of chatting from me in this one, I was rather tired! But I did pick out some fun music for your enjoyment!
