It's been about a month since Welcome to the Wax-work ended,
and I have to say, I miss it greatly. It hasn't necessarily sunken in 100%
yet, since this is just like the summer breaks of the last few years. Only
difference is, it won't be back come fall.
At any rate, I've finally come back to give you a few of the promised "Bonus
Tracks", as well as the MP3s of Ultimate Debatitorium,
and a few more eps of This Day in History. This is one of
the last updates of Welcome to the Wax-Work material we have left. A few
more Days in History, and that will be it.
Let's get to it!
- Ultimate Debatitorium
Lord Vanton Zest vs. President Byron Samuels
Ultimate Debatitorium pitted the Debatiator of the Year 2006 against the
Debatiator of the year 2007, asking them the Ultimate (open ended) Question...
Why? Changing things up a little, however... we recorded two endings to
the debate, allowing both competitors to have their chance to "win".
We also offer a third version which includes both endings.
- This Day In History
June 15th - July 20th
Just over a month's worth of TDIH, getting us caught up with the now. Only
July 21st - September 16th remain unedited. That's less than two months worth.
I can do that soon. I hope.
- Debatitorium Theme - based
on the opening of the Nutcracker's Overture by Piotr Tchaikovsky, and
arranged by Michael "Temporary Card" Makowski & Jordan
D. White.
- Epic Echoes End Theme -
by Michael "Temporary Card" Makowski
Recorded especially for the last episode of Epic Echoes, this is also
from the "War
of the Insects" piece, but from the very ending. Apparently, the ants
win the war. It made a nice ending to the show.
- Frank Allen Interview -
Towards the end of Debatitorium 2006, Frank Allen appeared on Charles
Berman's "Bronze Age of Radio" radio program. This illuminating
interview gives a rare behind-the-scenes look into the working of the
man behind the debates.
- Jordan,
Frank, & Rory Farewell - From the end of the very last Welcome
to the Wax-work, this is Jordan D. White, Frank Allen, & Rory St.
John's farewell to the series.
- Jordan
on 'Way of the Master Radio' - Not actually part of our wax radio
bits, I called up the Way of the Master Radio show just to chat. It's
an evangelical Christian show. I am an atheist- or, as they helped
me discover, a born-again atheist.
- Like Mother Opening
Theme - by Jordan D. White
Originally written as a pop song entitled "Delicate", I think this
works much better as the theme to Like Mother Like Daughter. This is the version
that starts every show...
- Like Mother Closing
Theme - by Jordan D. White
...and this is the version that ends every show. There are only minor differences.
- Spinning With Evil (This
Day in History Theme) - based on "The Spinning Song" by
Albert Ellmenreich, Michael "Temporary Card" Makowski altered
it to be in a minor key rather than major, then Jordan D. White added
the drum part.
Like I said... I would say just one or two more updates of Days in History,
and this stage of Wax-Work projects will be complete. What will be next
for Jordan D. White and for wax-work.com? I can't say, for sure. We'll
be moving to Forest Hills, Queens on August 1st, starting a whole new phase
of life. Who knows where my "All-Original Creative Projects" will go from
there.

Wow. This is it- the last episode of the Welcome to the Wax-Work radio show.
Yeah, sure, voer the next few weeks I'll have a couple of bonus tracks
and the rest of This Day in History to put up here... but, for the most
part, this is it. This is the end of all our scripted radio serials...
forever. I cannot tell you how much I am going to miss them, and how much
they mean to me. Thanks to everyone who has listened, and helped make these
things possible.
- Debatitorium 2007
Episode 11: Evolution
President Byron Samuels vs. Perfect Pitch
Did man evolve from other types of creature through a process of natural
selection? It's a complicated issue... an issue that can only be solved by
the Debatiator of the Year 2007! And don't forget- next week, we'll have
Ultimate Debatitorium, where this year's winner goes up against last year's!

mother, the killer. Where will she end up? Will she defeat CASK? Will
she have Bobby by her side? Questions are answered and answers are questioned
in this series finale.
Of course, the original scripts for each
episode has been put up as well.
Thanks for listening. |
05/08/07: |
The second to last regular episode of Welcome to the Wax-Work. Wow- we're
really moving towards the ending now. I'm starting to feel it, as I edit
the final episodes for Friday's airing. It's starting to hit me: this is
almost it. Man alive! And, I'd better start busting my hump on those This
Day In History episodes, because I am significantly behind on those! Ah
well, for now, enjoy the penultimate episodes of everything, here for your
enjoyment!
- Debatitorium 2007

Mayday! I'm doing a middle of the night update rather than a midday one and
I'm very tired! Why I am I doing this? I have no idea. I could just wait
the twelve hours to do it at the normal time, but I'm already almost done,
now, so I might as well finish it up. This is the third-to-last episode
of wax-work, "Episode 609", in production-speak. 611 will be the last one.
Lots of developements in these episodes, lots of twists and unexpected
turns as we near the end of all things wax-radio (or the beginning, in
Epic Echoes' case). Let's get to it!

So... last night we had our final recording session for "Welcome to the Wax-Work"...
ever. We've finished recording the series finales for all our shows (and
premiere of Epic Echoes). It's a bittersweet feeling. On the one hand,
I'm really proud of everything we did, and am very excited to get the
ends of these series out there for everyone. On the other hand, I will
miss these series so much...

Hey, everyone! We're back again after another school break, during which
we had no new episodes. That is, however, the last break between now and
the end of all our radio shows. Episodes 7-11 should come weekly and all
regular-like. And those of you wondering about This Day
in History, don't
worry- those are being recorded as well, but because they're all for days
that won't be coming for a while, I've given these shows priority. They
will get done, though, sooner or later.

of wax-work.com. That's pretty amazing. The site as changed a lot since
that day... we used to have a number of contributors I used to wrangle,

I am in a hurry to get this up to today, so I don't want to do a whole shpiel!
