TIFFANY CHEN (class of '07) is an Interdepartmental Major in Computational and Mathematical Biology. Having an interest in music composition, and as a fan of old-time mystery radio, she originally chose Professor Daniel Foster's course on "Radio: The Theater of the Mind" as a method of pursuing her interest in both subjects. Subsequently, she chose to re-create the short story "The Most Dangerous Game," a story written by Richard Connell in 1924, which was originally performed on the radio series "Suspense" in 1943 and 1945. "The Most Dangerous Game," originally an intense and suspenseful tale of a man being hunted, takes a slightly different (some may say comical) twist in this recreation by Tiffany Chen. A one-person production, the original podcast was created using the iTalk and a usb-microphone for recording, and the open-source program Audacity for sound editing.

SARAH ELLIS is a junior majoring in English, Music, and Theater Studies. During her first semester of music theory, she saw her fellow students struggle with the development of aural skills, primarily because they did not know how to practice on their own.
