Our day-to-day lives don’t give us many opportunities to reflect and listen. But against the digital deluge, radio & podcasting have emerged as storytelling mediums that capture our imaginations and force us to pay attention to our world in ways we otherwise wouldn’t.
This course provides an exploration into the world of podcasting and audio narratives. We’ll explore the storytelling craft through sound and expand audio traditions by creating our own series of stories and soundscapes. We’ll dive into journalistic and longform narratives to learn from them and offer critical approaches to build our own storytelling traditions. Students will work on becoming thoughtful storytellers by interviewing, recording, script-writing, editing, and soundscaping audio stories that relay the experiences of the people and perspectives around us.
Along the way, students will find their own voices, offering their unique takes on the world strictly through sound.
