Course Description: The Radio Narrative - Tell Your Story

The Radio Narrative - Tell Your Story

55-1307J

Course will focus on the craft of writing and producing effective radio narratives with emphasis on writing for the ear, sound usage, and basic sound and spoken word audio editing. The Radio Narrative has become a major force in radio creativity mainly through the work of writers, storytellers, and memoir artists producing work for National Public Radio International and other independent radio/audio venues. Each student will produce a completed radio narrative, working from an already written piece (redrafting it for broadcast writing) or writing an entirely new work. Course will progress as a workshop focusing on story development, writing, and basic radio/audio production.
