This is the radio bumper that I made! Also, what a fun term, radio bumper! I had no idea that this had a name. Do you like it? I honestly wasn’t sure what to do! As any good millennial (or Generation Z depending on who you ask), I took to the in...

Scariest Week so Far!

September 28, 2018

This was definitely the scariest week for me so far. I have been dreading the audio week and have been nervous about it from the beginning. I have never done any sort of audio editing and had never used Audacity or SoundCloud before this class… It ended up turning out pretty alright. I started the …

Can you guess the story of these sounds? This is someone cooking something and then in the end burning themselves when they take it out. Sounds featured are an egg crack, milk being poured, the bowl being stirred, it going in the pan and into the oven...

This week, I worked out of my comfort zone to discover new things about audio storytelling. Throughout the week, I’ve gained a new appreciation and understanding of audio storytelling, and how it can create stories that are unique from any other medium. I found this week more difficult than the writing and visual storytelling weeks, … Continue reading Weekly Summary: Week 5

I am intrigued by the idea of creating our own radio show… as well as a little nervous for what it might entail. Some ideas I had about what we could possibly do are: King Arthur through the centuries. I learned a lot about the different stories about King Arthur that have been told throughout …

Thoughts on Audio Storytelling

September 27, 2018

After listening to the two YouTube videos from RadioLab’s Jad Abumrad, here and here, I have to say that I agree with many of his points. Audio storytelling isn’t something I’ve thought of much before, as so often I watch TV or movies, which also include visual storytelling. But there is, as he notes, an … Continue reading Thoughts on Audio Storytelling

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” […]

So, listening to the DS106 radio…I don’t know what I think about it hahaha. The music is definitely Christian based and I’m not a religious person, so it’s not really my cup of tea. It wasn’t hard to listen to though. The music had good messages and was mostly upbeat and happy, so that was nice. The …

The radio bumper I created was after I listened to the station for a few hours. I couldn’t really get a theme, but I was vague in my welcome. Also, is this a Christian station? The radio show is cool, and the guy doing it seems pretty nice. It’s very random, and I really wonder if …

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 …

I felt like I was in the 50’s or 60’s this week with the live “tweet-along.” It was not because of the tweeting but rather the radio show. In the 50’s or 60’s, popular radio shows would be played in the evenings of weekdays, much like TV shows now. I have heard of people doing …
