TOLL ROAD
Interviewer
2008-
In 2008, I will record 30-50 life histories of toll booth operators in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Rather than programming edited bytes-turned-docs on the radio, I propose to use transmitters at the side of the road, to allow riders to tune into these full-length life histories on a particular low frequency radio station. This project borrows from Oral History but also from traditional "sound walks," which are usually packaged as audio guides for tourists on foot; in this case, the tourists will be passengers on the highway.
