Summary: One of 6 hour-long programs on the art and craft of radio with host Jay Allison, creator of the website Transom.org. This hour focuses on the audio diary with special guest Joe Richman. ( newscast compatible)
If there was a radio hall of fame, both Jay Allison and Joe Richman would be founding inductees and it's a real pleasure to hear the two of them talk about their craft. Very rewarding. The features in this show are all excellent and extremely compelling.
However, though The Transom Radio Hour is intended to be a look into the craft of making radio, I wonder if some of the conversation is a little too "inside baseball" and whether listeners will be engaged or turned off. Could go either way. That said, as soon as the radio diaries start playing, I think anyone would be hard pressed to turn the station.
This is a must listen for producers. It packages audio diaries in a way that hooked me for the full 52 minutes, and taught me a few things along the way.
