Thesis outline

Structure of the text: radio show, song, theatre play, script, python script, structure of phonetic rules (ref: "Speech for the stage"), structure of pocketsphinx

Multiple voices (presence and absence). Voice based communication platforms. Scanning through weird sounds, broadcasters. Mapping the frequencies through 'live' speech recognition.

Documentation of: making antennas, scanning through frequencies, interviews with pirates.
