KSU 'Harry Strange Radio Drama' Wins Award, Starts New Season

The episode will be profiled in a showcase at the 2012 Broadcast Education Association Festival of Media Arts in Las Vegas.

In January 2011, KSU Owl Radio debuted that student writer and creator Tony Sarrecchia told Patch was "cursed" due to a series of unfortunate events surrounding its production, including blown hard drives and car troubles.

A year later, the curse seems to have been lifted with the "Harry Strange Radio Drama" winning the 2012 Student Audio Best of Fest award for its episode, "The Blink of an Eye.”

According to an announcement on Owl Radio's Facebook page, the show—along with Sarrecchia and student producer Bre Ahearn—will be profiled in the Broadcast Education Association Festival of Media Arts in Las Vegas this April. The festival received almost 1,000 submissions with less than 200 entries accepted from 80 colleges and universities around the country.
