A series of short talks from producers who hope to dare and ignite.
Join us on the opening night of Third Coast for Late Night Provocations: a series of short talks from producers who hope to dare and ignite.
Every other fall, the Third Coast stretches its wings, embraces a film festival model (minus the popcorn - too noisy) and presents the Third Coast Filmless Festival - a celebration of sound, story, and the art of listening.
curator
To kick off 2019, Third Coast invited producers whose narrative audio work we’ve never featured before, to send us the best story they’ve made recently. We called it the Producer Index Challenge.

Podcasts have been shown to rejuvenate your commute, enliven your dishwashing, and bring the best of audio storytelling straight to your ears. But... how do you choose? Do you hear about new podcasts daily, but just can’t get them to your ears?
Get to know the 2019 Radio Residents and the projects they'll be working on at Ragdale!
