Description

In this course, we will study a variety of storytelling podcasts, such as This American Life, Serial, The Moth, and Radiolab. We will consider how each of these podcasts employ the methods of creative nonfiction: collecting interviews, archival research, travel, introspection, storytelling and suspense. We will think through how these programs were conceptualized and created, and design essays meant to be read, or even enacted, out loud. By the end of the class, you will have created a logo, summary, and first episode of your own podcast. No prior audio experience required.
