🎵 Play some jingle or background music

Thijs: Good Morning! You're tuned into Protocols for an Active Archive, the 22nd XPUB Special Issue, where students from the Piet Zwart Art Institute Experimental Publishing Master explore and create technosocial protocols for potential active archives of Radio Worm, while making radio themselves. 
This will, sadly, be our last broadcast. In 12 shows over the past 3 months, we have accumulated our own archive of work. This show will be dedicated to celebrating the Worm archive, celebrating the communities surrounding Radio Worm and think about ways to extrapolate the discourse surrounding archiving.
Today's show will be structured as follows:
OUTLINE:
    1 Introduce the show and establishing a theme of reusing material.
      Play snippets from previous shows. There is confusion about what into is the proper intro.
    2 Establish the theme of community by playing the breakfast protocol.
    3 Make a connection to the concept of the gift economy.
      Play the generated snippet.

Thijs: Cool, okay. Let's continue to the next section then: establish the theme of community.

Breakfast Protocol

Mania: We have been making the Protocols for an Active Archive radio show as a group. Every week, 3 people were selected as caretakers who would give extra care to the preparations of the show, and who would be present in the studio. Typically, the rest of the group would listen together -- in a space called The Aquarium, a place where our minds can collaboratively explore the archival oceans. 
Protocols for and Active Archive is a morning show, airing between 10 and 12 a.m. We took this opportunity to have a shared potluck breakfast. The segment we are about to listen to was part of the show of that day.

🎵 Play breakfast_protocol.mp3

Thijs: That was The Breakfast Protocol, from our 4th broadcast. We didn't know each other before starting this program, the Special Issue is the first project we're doing together. The shared breakfast was a pivotal moment for us as a group: taking the initiative to experience it together, enhancing the broadcast from an individual event to a shared one. It provided a feeling of community that continued to fuel the subsequent weeks of the project.

Section 3: Revelation Improvisation

In this section, we will do collaborative improvisation like we did during the show on November 28. The setting is similar: an apocalyptic event has just occured.

We have selected snippets from the interviews and placed them in a soundboard. We can use these during our improvisation, to suggest these people being part of our conversation.

For the final ~5 minutes, we play emergence messages on repeat:

(we can make one audio file out of these separate ones)
