A half-hour experiment in audio collage.

No Soap Radio was a weekly radio program broadcast on BSR in the spring of 2004. A collaboration between Robin Amer and Adeline Goss, the program was designed to showcase experimental and non-narrative sound art and radio pieces. The seven episodes featured work by both Robin and Addie but mostly showcased the work of artists they admired, woven together with unusual interstitial audio designed to highlight the main pieces.
