In this introductory course, students will discover the power of audio storytelling by combining foundational reporting skills with strong, character-driven narrative features. These types of stories are frequently found on popular podcasts like This American Life and Cheat. By analyzing such examples, students will learn to identify what makes an ideal audio story, including selecting interesting subjects and sources. The course will cover the essentials of writing for the ear and coaching on recording narration. The class runs like a mini newsroom with pitch meetings and workshops. After an introduction to audio equipment and editing software, students will produce stories through a comprehensive workflow to refine their work, culminating in a broadcast-worthy audio feature.
