{"product_id":"reality-radio-telling-true-stories-in-sound-9781469633138","title":"Reality Radio: Telling True Stories in Sound","description":"This new revised and expanded edition of \u003ci\u003eReality Radio\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJad Abumrad, \u003ci\u003eRadiolab\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDaniel Alarcon, \u003ci\u003eRadio Ambulante\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJay Allison, \u003ci\u003eThe Moth Radio Hour\u003c\/i\u003e, Transom.org\u003cbr\u003edamali ayo, independent audio producer\u003cbr\u003eJohn Biewen, audio program director at CDS, \u003ci\u003eScene on Radio\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEmily Botein, vice president of On-Demand Content, WNYC\u003cbr\u003eChris Brookes, independent audio producer, Battery Radio\u003cbr\u003eScott Carrier, \u003ci\u003eThis American Life\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHome of the Brave\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKatie Davis, special projects coordinator at WAMU, \u003ci\u003eNeighborhood Stories\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSherre DeLys, \u003ci\u003e360documentaries\u003c\/i\u003e, ABC Radio National \u003cbr\u003eIra Glass, \u003ci\u003eThis American Life\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlan Hall, independent audio producer, Falling Tree Productions\u003cbr\u003eDave Isay, \u003ci\u003eStoryCorps\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNatalie Kestecher, \u003ci\u003ePocketdocs\u003c\/i\u003e, ABC Radio National\u003cbr\u003eStarlee Kine, \u003ci\u003eMystery Show\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Kitchen Sisters, \u003ci\u003eThe Hidden World of Girls\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHidden Kitchens\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSarah Koenig and Julie Snyder, \u003ci\u003eSerial\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaria Martin, \u003ci\u003eLatino USA\u003c\/i\u003e, GraciasVida Center for Media\u003cbr\u003eKaren Michel, independent audio producer\u003cbr\u003eJoe Richman, \u003ci\u003eRadio Diaries\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDmae Roberts, independent audio producer\u003cbr\u003eStephen Smith, \u003ci\u003eAPM Reports\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlix Spiegel, \u003ci\u003eInvisibilia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSandy Tolan, independent audio producer, Homelands Productions\u003cbr\u003eGlynn Washington, \u003ci\u003eSnap Judgment\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Biewen directs the audio program at the Center for Documentary Studies, where he teaches and produces\/hosts the podcast \u003ci\u003eScene on Radio\u003c\/i\u003e.
