Q&A: Ghost Whisperer is about a woman named Melinda (Jennifer Love Hewitt) who has the gift to talk to the recently deceased and pass on messages to their living loved ones. By doing that, she helps the spirit cross over to the other side. I was introduced to this show back when it first came on television. The advertisements of the show made me want to watch it. I thought it sounded interesting. I watched the pilot and I was hooked to the show ever since. What I like about the show is that there is always a cliff hanger at the end of the show. After she sends a spirit to the other side, another one finds her. Melinda’s job is never done. I would definitely recommend this show to someone else. It is an interesting show to watch. Sometimes you might find yourself pulling out that box of tissues because there are some episodes that get really intense. Shows that make a person show emotion are the best.

Remembering Radio's Golden Age

Name of the person interviewed: Bernadine
Age: 82
How I know this person: She is my great-aunt.

For this interview, I asked my great-aunt, Bernadine, what she remembered about the “Golden Age of Radio.” I learned a lot from what she told me. Aunt Bernadine first started listening to radio around the sixth or seventh grade. This was during the Great Depression. The radio was kept in their dining room. Her family always listened to the radio when they had dinner together. She and her siblings would listen to the radio when they were doing their homework. Radio was different back then than it is today. There was a lot of static and interference. The radio Aunt Bernadine’s family owned was just a small box with an aerial outside the house. She also told me that my grandmother’s family owned a crystal radio. This radio only worked on clear days and had a lot of static. Some of Aunt Bernadine’s favorite shows on the radio were Lux Theater, Amos & Andy, and some of the soap operas. She said her mother’s favorite show was a soap opera called My Gal Sunday. This show always came on at 11:00 in the morning. There were not a lot of commercials on the radio back then. The President would go on the air and address the country. Politicians would sometimes talk and announce why people should vote for them. Sometimes big bands would perform in the evenings. Aunt Bernadine loved listening to Harry James and his orchestra. She did not remember too many moments in radio history because when she was in high school, she either had to go to work or do her homework some nights. She did say that every time she listened to the radio, it just got better and better. She would like to let the younger generations to know that in the early days of radio, it brought families closer together and it gave you your own picture of what was going on in the story being told. I learned from this interview that radio was very important during the Great Depression and World War II. It brought families together and entertained people who could not afford to go to theaters. I also learned that we take advantage of our radios today. We just flip though the stations in our cars or on our stereos and do not think of how this amazing invention made the world go round back then.

Q&A: I found this album and artist from my brother’s old friend when I was ten years old. Ever since then, I have been a huge Metallica fan. This was the first album I listened to by the band and was hooked instantly. I love all of their songs that they have put out. Unlike some people, I really do like their recent album, St. Anger. The genres of music I generally listen to are rock and country. Some of my other favorite rock artists are Def Leppard, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Ozzy Osbourne, Led Zeppelin, REO Speedwagon, Black Sabbath, Cheap Trick and many others. My favorite country artists are Shania Twain, Miranda Lambert, Brad Paisley, Montgomery Gentry, Trace Adkins, Clint Black, Garth Brooks, Billy Currington, and many more. On my MySpace page, I currently have “Ladies Love Country Boys” by Trace Adkins. I choose that song because it is one of my favorite songs. I usually listen to my music on the radio or CD’s. Since I have started college, I have been putting most of my CD’s on my computer. If I want to listen to my music while doing homework, I can just go to Windows Media Player. I usually get all of my CD’s from Barnes & Noble. It is cheaper to buy CD’s there because I have a discount card. I always get a CD or two when I am there. Every now and then, I will buy my CD’s at Best Buy. I do not like best buy that much because you cannot listen to the CD before you buy it.

Q&A: In this movie Burt and his wife, Vicky, end up in the town of Gatlin, Nebraska after running over a boy who came out of a cornfield. In this town, there are no adults around because the parents were murdered by word of Isaac, a preacher of the cult of children that runs the town. Isaac preaches about the thing in the cornfield called “He Who Walks Behind the Rows.” On a person’s eighteenth birthday, they are sacrificed to “He Who Walks Behind the Rows.” I saw this movie on a DVD. I was very interested in seeing this film. My friend got this movie for her sister, Jen, on her birthday and I liked it the first time I watched it. Since then, I have been watching this movie every time Jen comes home from college or when it is on T.V. What I love about this movie is that it is written by Stephen King, who I think is the best author ever. I would definitely recommend this movie to someone else because it is a thrilling movie to watch and it is one of those movies where every time you watch it, you find something new that you missed the last time you watched it.
