Sound and Story: Documentary for the Airwaves

In this course students will learn the production skills and storytelling sensibility necessary to create compelling radio documentary. Through curated readings and practical exercises, we will cover field-recording basics and interview techniques which each student will use to produce their own short audio piece. At the conclusion of this intensive storytelling production seminar, each student will formally pitch their piece to Vermont Public Radio. Each student will be required to purchase a set of studio quality, noise-canceling headphones (no ear buds) costing approximately $90.
