This series of fourteen 15-minute scripts is written for a duo purpose. First, to answer the ever-present problem of good radio fare for the young listener, and second, to provide radio materials which can be produced effectively by beginning broadcasting groups. Mr. Geography is an imaginative as well as entertaining program with a definitely educational purpose. It can be used for class instruction or for outside listening by students in the elementary schools. By producing such a series, a high school or college group gains experience in microphone work themselves, at the same time providing an interesting and worthwhile program for children of the community. The characters in this series have been kept young in years, as far as possible, in order that the undeveloped voice of the youthful actor will be effective. As you know, attempting to change the basic "age" sound of a voice on the microphone is rather impossible, and this is one of the main problems of production by high school radio workshops. The two leading roles which carry throughout the series, Bob and Bonnie, call for young voices. Each script also has at least two or more children included in addition to Bob and Bonnie. The only role which calls for actual maturity (or at least a "character" voice) is the part of Mr. Geography, the coordinator of the series. In addition to answering the problem of voice maturity through the use of youthful characters in all scripts, these scripts have been simplified as to sound effects and music so that the production problems can be easily handled. It is the opinion of the writers that beginning broadcasting groups should gain their early experience by broadcasting, not programs for themselves, but programs for the younger listener. In this way they gain the necessary experience as well as provide good programs for the children of the community. It should also be noted that each script is a complete unit and may be produced alone without the rest of the series. - To the teacher.
