WNOU Cheerleader Quiz on March Madness

Kyle & RachelThere might not be more fun than to quiz cheerleaders on things going on in the world.  With the stereotype that cheerleaders might not be completely in the loop on the news, Kyle and Rachel, Radio NOW, Indianapolis asked area cheerleaders about the recent March Madness tournament.  The only hitch was that the questions were very hard, and Kyle (obviously) gave them the answers so they came off as knowing more than the average sports fan.  The “conflict” inserted into this bit (planned, of course) made it very fun and very topical.

Spell What You Smell

If you have a good prize to give out, bring two listeners in to have a Smelling Bee (alternate name:  Spell What You Smell).  They sniff a smell hidden in a box and have to spell it.  You get the visceral on-air reaction of the smell before they spell it.  Some items to consider:  sulfur, ammonia, gasoline, goat cheese, compost.

KSON Trek or Trebek Audio

John & TammyOn a market visit a couple of weeks ago we came up with a fun game for John and Tammy, KSON, San Diego called “Trek or Trebek”.  They played an altered audio clip from either the old Star Trek TV show or Alex Trebek from Jeopardy.  The listener had to guess where it came from.  With Star Trek a hot movie right now, this was just dumb, silly fun!

Trek or Trebek Game

Another fun game which plays off the popularity of the new Star Trek movie is called “Trek or Trebek”.  Get audio from any Star Trek movie or TV show and Alex Trebek from Jeopardy. Change how the audio sounds in the production studio.  Play it for your contestant, who has to identify if the audio comes from Star Trek or Alex Trebek.  The Daily Double sound effect sounds like phasers, by the way!  After they guess, play the unaffected audio to prove it.  Hear how John and Tammy, KSON, San Diego executed the game here.
