COR 024: Camp Waterlogg-A-Go-Go! We Lost the Children but Gained Some Chickens


Husband & Wife Team Create Entire World in Voice on Weekly "Camp Waterlogg" Radio Theater


 


When Lorie Kellogg married Joe Bevilacqua in 1997, she never imagined she'd also be married to timid Ellis, brash Lefty, silly Andy, and hundreds of other characters that have been coming out of Bevilacqua's mouth since he was a child.


 


A protege of Daws Butler (Yogi Bear) and Mel Blanc (Bug Bunny), "Joe Bev" currently has not one but three weekly radio shows airing in a row on Internet radio station powerhouse Cult Radio-A-Go-Go!

Kellogg ad Bev provide all the voices on The Comedy-O-Rama Hour, part of "The Joe Bev 3-Hour Block" starting at 2:30 pm EASTERN - listen online at http://www.cultradioagogo.com


 


In "Camp Waterlogg-A-Go-Go! We Lost the Children but Gained Some Chickens," Ranger Joe and Ranger Lorie hike the New York Catskill Park, leaving Sgt. Lefty and Olive Pitts to heard eleven wild baby chicks (and their mom) to safety. Meanwhile Mrs. Terwilliger, her sister, and 56 camp kids are lost in the woods. 


 


To create such a complex radio theater hour every week, Kellogg and Bev mix real life with fiction while recording in their cabin like home, and the surrounding woods and mountains.


 


"Lorie and I had to save those wild chicks anyway, so we did it in the voices of Lefty and Olive. What you hear is real but not real at the same time," admits Bev who improvises about half the show with his wife each week.


 


Bev recorded the couple's actually hike to the Red Hill Fire Tower some 3,000 feet atop the Catskills, complete with other hikers and a real park ranger telling its history.


 


These real life moments are blending with scenes of "flights of fancy" at the fictional Camp Waterlogg. This week, Kellogg as Mrs. Terwilliger and Bev as her sister get each other lost and the woods. They also voice the crowd of children. Bev as Adam Maxwell saves them in a hot air balloon.


 


This week's show also includes the continuing parody of TV's "Whale Wars" with Ellis and Elise on "Beluga Battles" and the cartoon "Balloon Actrobatics" by Pedro Pablo Sacristan.
