You’ve written essays for years, but how do you write for the ear? What are the hallmarks of a good story? How is reporting and interviewing similar to other kinds of storytelling? This class is an intensive dive into the world of audio. You will learn how narrative and journalistic audio is made, and incorporate those principles in your own work in this class and beyond.

Experts from some of the top podcasts in the country will visit the class to share their experience. You will listen to their work, have the opportunity to ask them questions, and apply what you learn to your own projects.

This class also functions as a listening workshop where you will receive and deliver constructive criticism. Everyone needs an editor. Everyone needs a second set of ears.
