RAP-CD-logo-2Welcome to the May 2008 RAP CD! We begin with audio for Dave Foxx's Production 212 column on track 1, and the rest of this month's CD is our 2008 RAP Awards Best of the Rest Part 2 featuring some fabulous Promos. We get Small Market Promos on tracks 2 through 6, Medium Market Promos on tracks 7 through 14, and Large Market Promos on tracks 15 through 27. And this concludes this year's presentation of the 18th Annual Radio And Production Awards! A final congratulations to all the winners, runners-up, finalists, and all those who made it to the "Best of" CDs. As always, we are amazed at the caliber of creativity hidden away in radio production studios everywhere, and we look forward to bringing you out again next year!
