"In the Moment" Radio

Up a tree. Circling a mountain. Hitchhiking down a dusty road.

One aim of documentary radio is to put listeners in the moment of events that have already happened, so they can feel a sense of presence and immediacy, and even come to believe they were actually there.

In this session, Scott Carrier explores the basic steps for constructing this illusion, from recording the actual document, through editing, writing, and finally production.
