Assignment 1 Research

For our first assignment, we are asked to create an Internet Radio ID, picking a narrowly focused group for the station, coming up with a name, and mixing sound for the creation of the ID.

After looking through past blogs from my fall class computer graphics, I came upon called "Giant Yummy Furniture." After looking at this post, and coming to the blog "Candy Addict," I decided to focus my station on people who do not want to grow up.

In an article entitled "The Children Who Won't Grow Up" by Frank Furedi, I learned about the various names given to this phenomenon: Peter Pan-demonium, Kidults, and Boomerang Kids. In a Business Week review of "Adults do the Darndest Things" additional terms of Adultescents and Twixters are mentioned.

I decided to go with Peter Paners for my station name. It seemed like the best option and there are many great sounds that could go with this station for the ID.
