Summer Story Workshop, 2015

In August, 2015, we launched our audio hopes and dreams with a six-day summer radio intensive workshop at the U of Missouri. It was taught by radio guru Rob Rosenthal, currently the lead instructor of the Transom Story Workshop. Rob produces the HowSound podcast on audio storytelling for PRX (Public Radio Exchange).

Rob encouraged students to: focus on the story of one person, to look for action, to think about sound, and to think about what techniques of writing and production would compel listeners. He taught us the basics of recording, script-writing, and editing.

We also learned a thing or two about listening.
