Long Haul Productions’ award-winning Song/Story series marks an innovative approach in radio journalism: collaborative storytelling that blends carefully-crafted interview and documentary tape with original songs written as an integral part of the story’s narrative. In each piece, a musician chosen for his/her unique perspective on the story will help shape the narrative by contributing or responding to it in song. The result is a unique amalgam of journalism and art: stories that lyricize the voices of regular Americans through Long Haul’s award-winning reporting and production, and the words and music of some of the nation’s most creative and thoughtful songwriters.
