Don’t just listen to stories, tell your own!
Print journalism may be under attack but when it comes to audio, reporting and storytelling are thriving: Serial, Radiolab, Reveal; Gimlet, Panoply, Radiotopia. The landscape of radio is exploding and new shows and podcasts are being launched almost faster than listeners can decide which episode to download next. These outlets, shows and story making machines are hungry beasts, both for stories, and for the producers with the skills to know how to tell them. Buts it’s no good getting the scoop, if you don’t know how to sell your stuff. This three session class will cover the art of the pitch. That’s industry lingo for selling your story.Note: this is not a production class (if you’re looking for a production class, try Radio Boot Camp.) Instead, this workshop will focus entirely on writing and honing our pitches.
