Although he’s been on the radio for several decades, you’ve probably never heard Joe’s voice. That’s because the Peabody-Award-winning producer doesn’t narrate most of his stories. Instead, he works with people - sometimes for years - to record and make stories from their own lives. He calls these stories, and his Radiotopia podcast, Radio Diaries. He recently published a "DIY Handbook" for anyone who wants to try their hand at making radio.
Join us for a conversation with Joe and PRX's Alex Braunstein that includes clips from his recent stories and a special guest from one of Joe’s early diaries!
Free admission - please reserve a seat here.
