Synopsis
This new revised and expanded edition of Reality Radio celebrates today's best audio documentary work by bringing together some of the most influential and innovative practitioners from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. With a new foreword and five new essays, this book takes stock of the transformations in radio documentary since the publication of the first edition: the ascendance of the podcast; greater cultural, racial, and topical variety; and the changing economics of radio itself. In twenty-four essays total, documentary artists tell--and demonstrate, through stories and transcripts--how they make radio the way they do, and why. Whether the contributors to the volume call themselves journalists, storytellers, or even audio artists--and although their essays are just as diverse in content and approach--all use sound to tell true stories, artfully. Contributors include Jad Abumrad, Daniel Alarcon, Jay Allison, damali ayo, John Biewen, Emily Botein, Chris Brookes, Scott Carrier, Katie Davis, Sherre DeLys, Ira Glass, Alan Hall, Dave Isay, Natalie Kestecher, Starlee Kine, The Kitchen Sisters, Sarah Koenig and Julie Snyder, Maria Martin, Karen Michel, Joe Richman, Dmae Roberts, Stephen Smith, Alix Spiegel, Sandy Tolan, and Glynn Washington.Jad Abumrad, RadiolabDaniel Alarcon, Radio AmbulanteJay Allison, The Moth Radio Hour, Transom.orgdamali ayo, independent audio producerJohn Biewen, audio program director at CDS, Scene on RadioEmily Botein, vice president of On-Demand Content, WNYCChris Brookes, independent audio producer, Battery RadioScott Carrier, This American Life, Home of the BraveKatie Davis, special projects coordinator at WAMU, Neighborhood StoriesSherre DeLys, 360documentaries, ABC Radio National Ira Glass, This American LifeAlan Hall, independent audio producer, Falling Tree ProductionsDave Isay, StoryCorpsNatalie Kestecher, Pocketdocs, ABC Radio NationalStarlee Kine, Mystery ShowThe Kitchen Sisters, The Hidden World of Girls, Hidden Kitchens Sarah Koenig and Julie Snyder, SerialMaria Martin, Latino USA, GraciasVida Center for MediaKaren Michel, independent audio producerJoe Richman, Radio DiariesDmae Roberts, independent audio producerStephen Smith, APM ReportsAlix Spiegel, InvisibiliaSandy Tolan, independent audio producer, Homelands ProductionsGlynn Washington, Snap Judgment
