For this assignment, I had to create an audio tagline that represented me if I were on Real Housewives. This was my first ever audio assignment, and I was learning how to use Audacity. I first recorded myself, then I had to export it to SoundCloud. It was pretty easy. I was nervous at first, … Continue reading Audio Story: Real Housewives Tagline

While choosing which story/ stories to listen to I realized why it’s important to have a good title. That’s the first thing I see when I’m choosing which stories I want to listen to by which title gets my attention. I decided to open a few of them and see the length and what they […]

For this daily create, we had to doodle our own picture onto a woman. Using Sketchbook, I gave her a pretty dress, and she accidentally dropped her purse. But not to worry, she’s picking it up. #tdc1348: Dumb doodle pad Art @ds106dc #ds106 #tdc1348 Doodling a woman picking up her dropped purse. pic.twitter.com/i7wMDVXUKL — miranda … Continue reading Daily Create 9/17/15

I listened to the “Ghost Stories” on RadioLab. The stories that I listened to were so interesting and drew my attention, which I didn’t expect from audio. I did not only use my ears during the audio stories, I used my imagination. The multiple audio effects, noises, and voices all sparked imagery in my mind. Unlike … Continue reading Listening to Stories

For today’s Daily Create we were asked to fill in the lines of this drawing: Naturally I chose the incredibly iconic Beyoncé and her hit video Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it). @ds106dc #tdc1348 today's Daily Create featuring Beyoncé (kind of) pic.twitter.com/g3fgay1Bmh — Rachel Stanford (@rach_stanford23) September 17, 2015  

Listening to Ira Glass talk about what makes an effective Radio show and then actually listening to him employ those strategies in one of the “My American Life” videos, which I actually talk about here, was a really cool experience. So Ira starts in the first of the four videos talking about the two most … Continue reading This American Life: Ira Glass on Storytelling

For this assignment, I decided to listen to two of the Radiolab broadcasts, Ghost Stories and Talking to Machines, as well as Episode 504: How I got into College of “My American Life.” For the first Radiolab, “Ghost Stories,” there was a huge variety of different techniques used to create the overall effect. I really … Continue reading Audio: An effective form of digital storytelling?

I LOVED this interview, short and sweet, but directly to the point of something that I think is so important. I never wondered much about radio and the techniques behind selling/marketing radio stories and audio pieces. However, Abumrad brings to light an important point that the compelling aspects of radio lie solely in the human […]

Ira Glass’s response and description of audio storytelling really opened my eyes to a new perspective and style of telling stories. Personally, yes I am afraid to tell stories through audio techniques, but I’m hopeful that it will be a good experience. Glass made many good points throughout. He first discussed the two main building […]

Listening to Jad Abumrad talk about the process of developing and launching Radiolab was really eye-opening. I’ve come across Radiolab before, but only once or twice. We listened to a few broadcasts in my psychoparmacology class last fall, and I remember thinking at the time that I really enjoyed the way they presented the information. … Continue reading How Radio Creates Empathy: Jad Abumrad on Radiolab

Ira Glass: Glass’s series on storytelling not only taught me about the important factors in radio broadcasting, but also showed me how similar things are to regular storytelling. Throughout listening to his videos, I found myself relating his ideas with what radio broadcasting should be, to what I’ve learned about how traditional writing or even art […]
