SPARKSHOW is intended to be a rather eclectic series of short "magazine" style programs. Sometimes the stories will be interconnected by theme and other times they will be more an eclectic collection of concepts, ideas, and thoughts.
The "publication" schedule is not your typical weekly or monthly news program. Rather, we intend to go through spurts of activity followed by periods of inactivity followed by an active spurt or few and then a long hiatus as we wait for the next "staff" to take on the tasks.
Sparkshow is specifically a production outlet for students in the English Department at National Chengchi University in Taipei, Taiwan, and as such is less a professional production than an eclectic forum for stories of interest to the department community. The program is advised by certain teachers of the Oral Training program.
Themes and assignments are selected by the advisors while individual stories may be pitched by student reporters in Oral Training courses or others.
