If you're into commercials, this months RAP CD is for you! We kick things off with a sample of spots from this months interview subject, Steve McKenzie at NextMedia, Chicago. We get a sample of some of his commercials followed by his voice demo on cut 1. Cut 2 is the demo from last months interview subjects, Paul and Stuart at World Wide Wadio -- awesome stuff! Cut 3 is the spot Jeffrey Hedquist refers to in his Radio Hed column this month. The rest of this months RAP CD is the "Best of the Rest" of the 2000 Radio And Production Awards commercial categories. We get the Best of the Rest from the Small Market category on cuts 4-9, Medium Markets on cuts 10-16, and Large Markets on cuts 17-20. Congratulations to all of these contestants who missed the finals by a hair! Your work certainly deserves the exposure! Next months RAP CD will contain the "Best of the Rest" from the Promo categories and the Feature Production category.
