The Zoo Tapes: An interactive serial by John Rody | Episode 1 from John Rody on Vimeo.
I just discovered, via the wonders of Vimeo, the “trailer” you see above for something called The Zoo Tapes posted by none other than The Great John Rody — one half of LaBella and Rody (and Mike Rhyner), without whom I would not have made it through elementary-school and junior-high mornings. As Rody writes on the Vimeo page, this is part one of what he’s referring to as an “interactive serial … somewhat based on the life and times of a legendary radio station, KZEW in Dallas, Fort Worth, Texas — the story of its start and end.” Sniff. Stop looking at me.
Turns out, there’s a companion website and e-tail outlet, where Rody’s posted a 1-800 number, which fans are asked to call “to recall the good times and remember The Zoo.” I dialed it, got Rody’s message, then promptly hung up. That’s a lot of pressure, man.
