Series: Destination DIY

Produced by Destination DIY

Series image

Destination DIY is a radio show about all kinds of creativity. The show is based in the creative hub of Portland, Oregon and includes stories from producers around the country. We're taking the DIY lens beyond crafts and home improvement.

NOTE TO PROGRAM DIRECTORS: This series aired on Oregon Public Broadcasting in a twice-weekly time slot rotating with The Moth and Radio Lab Saturdays at noon and Wednesdays at 8 p.m.

We explore all kinds of ways people are working with limited resources to create rather than consume the world around them. Destination DIY blends recorded field sound, in-studio interviews, personal narration and original music to create an arc that takes listeners on a journey and brings them back inspired.
