What's the best way to learn about audio? By listening!
Join a group listening session where you'll discuss a diverse selection of pieces to uncover the fundamental elements of audio storytelling. We’ll break down the four essentials of a great story, the basics of writing for the ear, and the details that make an audio narrative ear-grippingly good. You'll walk away with a newfound appreciation for the work that goes into constructing these narratives, as well as practical approaches for creating your own podcast or audio project.
We recommend this workshop for beginners - no audio experience is required to attend.
