REALITY ENTERTAINMENT: Vicarious, Vulture, and Video all begin with V

REALITY ENTERTAINMENT: Vicarious, Vulture, and Video all begin with V.

PODERTAINMENT:
Audio Productions studios will like this.
Between them, audio and digital interactive production will be bigger than the TV-Video industry is now.

Reality TV is about as real as professional wrestling, and popular for the same reasons.
The ear is closer to the libido than the eye. The nose is closest, of course, but digital technology has made little progress there.

The Next Big Thing: Reality Radio, but it won't be BROADcast, it'll be PODcast, and the video will once again be provided by the listener's imagination.
Blogging and podcasting will merge, and be delivered to all thru their cell phones. (See Podcasting to Demolish the Digital Divide.)

Reality radio will bring us real peoples' stories, voices, situations, lives. Like reality TV, but really real.

Titles, Slogans:

  • REALITY-- PROFESSIONALLY PRODUCED
  • REAL LIFE-- PROFESSIONALLY PRODUCED
  • TELL IT TO THE MIC. (Logo is an open palm holding a microphone; a twist on "Tell it to the hand")
  • STORIES TOO GOOD FOR FICTION
  • ANDY WARHOL WAS RIGHT. YOU KNOW, THE 15 MINUTES THING.
  • REAL LIFE, EDITED FOR PRIME TIME
  • PRIME TIME 24/7
A Vicarian is one who is enriched vicariously by what one watches, reads, and hears thru the media. Example: A media fan who becomes a better human being from stories about everyday heroism.


Opposite is the Vicarrion, one who thrives on dirt about other peoples lives. Example: Those who read numerous popular national mags & rags, the names of which we won't mention.
We're not sure which to consider those who partake in phone sex. Sex is good, but something about that business... oh, I don't know.

BTW, phone sex will become an audio podertainment phenom in... (checking watch) ...oh, about 21 months.
Give or take 3 days. As with online porn, sleaze drives progress.
