Three Shows/Three Techniques

NPR reporter Alix Spiegel incites a riot among audio producers... in praise of stealing others' storytelling techniques and adapting them to create a style of one's very own.

Before the group chanting begins, Alix decodes the narrative strategies of This American Life, Radiolab, and NPR to show how they use tape, build story structure, determine the relationship of the reporter to the material, and more.
