Start Your Story.” There are no rules. You can start a story anyway you like. That said, there are some fairly common approaches to beginning a story and the opening episode of Offshore employs quite a few. Offshore is a podcast about the unusual side of Hawaii. The first season…

Narrating To An Audience – Transom

May 24, 2017

http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/media.blubrry.com/howsound/p/newcdn.transom.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Narrating-to-An-Audience.mp3DownloadListen to “Narrating To An Audience” I recently stumbled across another excellent example of a radio station producing a podcast. The station is New Hampshire Public Radio. The podcast, Outside/In. What’s so great about it? Good stories, well told, about the environment. A host who writes and narrates well. And, a willingness to experiment. It’s…

Doorstepping: The Uninvited Interview – Transom

The street is public space. The interviewee can see you coming. They see the gear you’re wearing. They know what’s about to happen. It’s not a big surprise. It’s another thing entirely to waltz right…

Recording Live Events – Transom

May 24, 2017

Live Events Radio listening may have started out as a communal activity, with the family gathered around the HiFi, listening to radio drama and variety shows. But in recent years, listening to the radio, or podcasts, has tended to be a more private activity, a solo experience during a commute, sequestered from others by earbuds,…

Sound Matters – Transom

May 24, 2017

http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/media.blubrry.com/howsound/p/newcdn.transom.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Sound-Matters.mp3DownloadListen to “Sound Matters” So much of what we hear on public radio in the United States is intended to be informative and edifying. It sounds as though the people talking are sitting up straight, projecting their voices. The tone is didactic. Including HowSound. And this isn’t a critique. It’s just an observation. British/Danish producer…

Short Is Beautiful – Transom

http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/media.blubrry.com/howsound/p/newcdn.transom.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Short-is-Beautiful.mp3DownloadListen to “Short Is Beautiful” One of the benefits of podcasting is freedom from time constraints. A podcast doesn’t have to fit into the strict time limits of the public radio clock. Invariably, podcasters produce stories that tend to be much longer than stories heard on much of public radio. A lot longer. Too long,…

Sarah Koenig – Transom

May 24, 2017

Intro from Jay Allison: The thing about “Serial” is that it seemed so easy. That first season had such a simple narrative elegance in its tone and structure that it felt almost inevitable. It made you think: Hey, I could do that. I should produce a podcast like “Serial”! Then, if you did, you found out:…
