Public Radio Talent Quest round 3 entries
The Round 3 entries in the Public Radio Talent Quest are now live.
You can get to them by clicking on a contestant’s name over in the right hand column of every page, or from the home page of the site.
On this round we asked each contestant to interview someone of their choosing and also to be interviewed by a local public radio station host.
Our seven semi-finalists did a fantastic job with their interviews, as you’ll hear for yourself.
As with previous rounds we’re inviting the public to vote and comment, and the top popular pick will essentially get “immunity” from being kicked off the island for the next round when we whittle it down to 5 finalists. Those 5 will have one more challenge before we pick our three winners, each of whom gets $10,000 and is paired with a producer/mentor to create a pilot show for public radio.
Please help spread the word about Round 3 so the hard work of April, Chris, Anne, Al, Rebecca, Glynn and Chuck gets the attention it deserves.

‘Once again the top rated entry will be given “immunity” and a guaranteed slot in the next round’ - then what’s the point?
Sorry and all respect to the initial idea, but one slot is clearly filled due to Facebook, forum-board and on-campus rallying and strategic ballot-stuffing. I hope that next year you reconsider the strategy, as it appears a shame that some contestants are clearly without a chance because of this flaw in the competition. And good luck to the ‘final two’, who got there out of merit alone.
