Moon Landing Wreck
Sound is terrifying, I am scared of horror films solely for that reason. Sound can make someone cry or scream. Even though the same thing happens every time (your earsContinue readingMoon Landing Wreck

The Dark Side of the Moon (Graffiti)
Wow…that was both dark and depressing… Very well done though! In terms of the sounds utilized in this audio, I would like to separate the verbal and the non-verbal sounds into two distinct categories. Both are important, but fulfill different roles. First of all, the verbal. Abumrad said that there is the “potential for empathy” […] -
Telling a Story Through Sound
Audio storytelling is a somewhat new idea to me. Of course I’ve listened to the radio and broadcasts. Sound is critical for telling stories, but how do you tell stories through sound only? Different sounds create different moods throughout a story. Such as, light and blissful sounds create a very happy mood. Or the Star … Continue reading "Telling a Story Through Sound" -
Why audio is cool
I thought Moon Graffiti was so cool to listen to. It’s weird to think that the president had to have a pre-recorded message all ready to go in case Armstrong and Aldrin didn’t make it all the way through the mission. To me, I would have thought it was bad luck. But God was watching […] -
The sounds in stories
Sound drives stories by creating even more imagery in someone’s mind that words may not do. Sounds help create scenes, and gives more of a 3-D sense to a story. In the video, how radio creates empathy Jab talks about how a radio host puts images into a listeners heads. Those random sounds that pop up … -
Audio Reflection
While listening to the beginning of “Moon Graffiti” I forgot that I was listening to a podcast for a second because of the use of dramatization and sound effects. It felt like I was watching a movie without the video. Sort of like a dramatic audio book. The podcast then went on to explain their … Continue reading Audio Reflection -
Audio Reflection
When “Moon Graffiti” started, I had (wrongly) assumed that it was a fictional story being told, so I was listening to the sounds as if they were sound effects and not actually happening. So, with that said, when I was listening and hearing ... -
“Moon Graffiti”
This was a very interesting story to listen to. It sounds extremely realistic and makes you feel like you are in space. The way the scene is described it makes you not need visual aid because you can imagine it. Through the tone of their voices, you c... -
Kicking Off Audio Week
Sound is one of those things that you don’t realize you need until it’s gone. Between sound effects, laughter, and song, stories cannot be effectively told without sound. While pictures can tell a story, you cannot fully immerse yourself into it without sound. Think about how different it is to watch a silent video than … -
What if…
I would consider Audio Storytelling one of the oldest forms of storytelling, if not the oldest. Telling stories verbally with words is such an old practice that connects us back to humans centuries ago. I get what Abumrad meant when he said he hopes and thinks that radio will never die. In a sense, I … -
A Penny for your Sound
Hello all! Now I’m excited for this week…this is right down my alley. I think that if I’ve ever had a talent for anything it would be a talent for sound. What’s amazing is sound comes in so many different ways. I’ve always been able to play instruments generally from ear. This meaning that if … Continue reading A Penny for your Sound -
Moon Graffiti
Featured Image My initial thoughts on this are that it sounds like actual audio recordings from a cockpit. I think the editing with this is BEYOND amazing with all the special sound effects, not to mention HOW they sound. Obviously, the sound is way too clear and clean to be an actual cockpit recording but … -
The Sounds of the Moon
I am a big fan of audio storytelling. I’ve recently started getting into podcasts such as Welcome to Night Vale and SAYER and I’ve always been of fan of videos such as SCP readings and LOCAL58. Every one of these things has amazing audio, either in narrators or in music and sound effects. Though LOCAL58 has... -

Growing up we have learned that when you don’t have access to one of your senses the others are heightened.… -
The Moon Landing Disaster
I absolutely adore these hypothetical “What If?” type of stories, especially ones that are grounded in reality ( The more likely it seems things could have happened a different way than they actually did, the more it tends to hold my interest, as it is generally more interesting to think about ). I had never … -
And the cow jumped over the moon..
Our class was asked to listen and reflect on Moon Graffiti by The Truth Podcast. It presents a hypothetical alternative to the historical event of Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong landing on the moon on July 20, 1969. I found this podcast to be morbid and a little uncomfortable. The eerie music playing in the background … -
Creative Moon Graffiti
The last Assignment I had for this week was to listen to a SoundCloud story about an alternative to the successful landing on the moon, in which the eagle crashed instead of landing. The full recording is down below. Audio plays a really big part in creating the story. Once I heard the beep at … Continue reading "Creative Moon Graffiti" -
Audio from the Moon
Starting off: When I first started reading the assignment paragraphs that detailed the questions to be answered in this blog post I started to worry that there was no way that listening to this one single story off of Soundcloud would give me the answers for all the questions listed and I wondered how adding … -
The Untold Possibility
Audio Reflection It’s incredible to think about the high possibility of a space mission failing terribly. What if Neil Armstrong didn’t take a giant leap but took a giant death? The audio piece Moon Graffiti, scene by scene, portrays what would have happened if Apollo 11 crashed instead of landing nice and easily on the […] -
Moon Graffiti Reflection
While listening to this audio story there were several factors that increased the realistic aspects of the story as well as creating heightened emotions. During this podcast there was a lot of description of what the scenes would have looked like. This ties into […] -
Well, I got Audio-Pilled
Radio Theatre is Great, Changed my Mind When I wrote my previous post, I held the belief that additional audio dubbed into stories was more a distraction than an enhancer, but after listening to some podcasts by The Truth Podcast, I believe audio stories made in such fashion benefit greatly by the addition. The sounds … -
The good, the bad and the polished
Moon Graffiti presented an excellent example of using sound as an integral part of storytelling. The producers effectively used recorded audio, sound effects, and background music woven with a compelling narrative of mixed fact and fantasy. The audio pushes the imagination, bringing the adventure of a lunar visit and subsequent crash to life in the listener’s … -
Moon Graffiti
I absolutely loved Moon Graffiti, the story itself poses an interesting what if question. The sounds add to the realistic nature of the story being told. The spacey music layered with the beeps of machines make if seem as though it actually happened. The quick sharp sounds add to the level of fear with the […] -
Moon Graffiti: Spine-chilling Storytelling at it’s Finest
Growing up, I used to travel with my family by car to just about anywhere and everywhere, and during the trips we always had a habit to listen to whatever podcast or audio book that my parents hooked up. This usually meant NPR, Adam... -
The Impact of Sound
The first thing that comes to mind when considering audio narratives is “It’s not what you say, but how you say it.” While what you say is definitely important, sound can change the meaning whether through tone, special effects, and music. For example, in Moon […] -
Moon Graffiti Reflection
For this portion of week 5, we were assigned to listen to listen to a soundcloud broadcast of “Moon Graffiti” by The Truth Broadcast. I would liken this to an audiobook, I used to listen to them all the time when I was a kid so this was a familiar experience for me. I also … Continue reading "Moon Graffiti Reflection" -
The Power of Audio
Just as you can tell a story without sound, you can do the same for audio. After listening to Moon Graffiti on soundcloud, I now realize just how important sound is to telling a good story. All we had was people talking and the noises and sounds that were there but you felt as if you … -
Moon Graffiti
Stories are a form of communication and communication succeeds by appealing to ones senses. Audio storytelling means getting a message across by solely appealing to the sense of hearing. Moon Graffiti achieved this. It explained itself with words, it used eerie space music to set the tone and mood. They tossed in radio static for […] -
Moon Graffiti
I have never really just listened to a story so this was a very new experience for me. I guess I have never really thought about how important sounds are to driving movies and shows forward. In the beginning of this podcast all the sounds; the eery music that begins the podcast, the beeps and … Continue reading Moon Graffiti -
Silence is the loudest sound.
by @ldeitrick September 28, 2017“Moon Graffiti” grabs you right from the moment you start listening. The producers achieve this primarily using two distinct styles when introducing the story. NPR’s “How Audio Stories Begin” describe these techniques as diving immediately into the narrative and introducing a mystery. We are confronted with alarms signaling a sense of danger and urgency, as …
