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 […]

Here is the Circus!

After watching Jad Abumrad’s video, I find myself in agreement with what he is saying. Radio broadcasts are pretty special...

For today’s daily create we were told to make an old photo. The photo I decided to “age” was of my brother, sister, and I. @ds106dc #tdc1347 My response for Today's #ds106 Daily Create is an old family photo pic.twitter.com/J60mZ1JQmJ — Chantel Moton (@CMoton24) September 17, 2015

Here is a very old picture of my dog !

I created an account on Pixlr.com and selected Pixlr Express as the web application I would use to import an image I found online of Wyoming. Once in PixlrExpress (https://pixlr.com/express/) I used a 1. Too Old effect labeld Gordon. Next, I used a Vignette Overlay. Finally, I choose a border to place around the image to give it … Continue reading Daily Create #3

Ira Glass said that storytelling has two building blocks, one being the anecdote  which is just a sequence of events, and a moment of reflection, which gives the audience the whole point to the story and the reason they are listening to it in the first place. Jad Abumrad said in his interview on “How … Continue reading →

Here is the prompt to the original Daily Create for today. Below is the original tweet. You can almost hear Frank Sinatra playing in the background. Am I right? @ds106dc #tdc1347 Call me irresponsible… pic.twitter.com/JLCPbfe0cN — Rachel Stanford (@rach_stanford23) September 16, 2015

My daily create on September 16th. This is my third daily create of the week. I had to age a photo. I used a photo I took while hiking on Labor Day. Aged photo for #tdc1347 @ds106dc pic.twitter.com/gS1XC14o9H — Ben Brady (@BBrady92) September 16,...

For this daily create, I had to make a photo look super old. I used this by finding a photo that I thought would be a photo in the olden days. I found a picture of my best friend and I walking away from the camera in the woods. It’s a little eerie, and I … Continue reading Daily Create 9/16/15

@ds106dc #tdc1347 My response for Today's #ds106 Daily Create is an image of my kitty from 5 years ago http://t.co/XWRglBsYms...

Today’s daily create is to make a photo look old. Like, black-and-white or sepia old. I figured, since I already took a selfie today, I’d just go ahead and make it look like it came from 90s (if the 90s was super old)

Through the sunbeams in the leaves the sturdy trunks support the sky. Birds chirp quips about you as you walk. Through the forest of yellow fog, a hazy sea with swirls of green, shadows stretching out their arms, reaching out to lead you deeper. I’ve long been in these woods, the heat oppressive, the sense […]

Anecdotes and reflections are the two main building blocks that Ira Glass goes in great detail about when he is...

Hey everyone! Today’s dailycreate was to post a picture that evoked an emotion. I really love these kind of photography things and because my dog…

Here is my photo of the emotion joy or admiration because who doesn’t feel these feelings when they see good food!

Here is my radio bumper audio assignment for #ds106. For this project I used Garageband. I recorded my speech of the dialogue using the “vocals” instrument. The voice over music is an instrumental bass which I copied and pasted from YouTube. After my song was done, I converted it to an MP3 file and uploaded … Continue reading Radio Bumper Audio Assignment

I chose to do the Spooky Dialogue audio assignment in the assignment bank, because I figured it would allow me a chance to really play around with the different things I can do in Audacity, and I’m attracted to spooky and unsettling things. Basically, for this assignment, we have to make and edit a recording […]

For this assignment, I watched multiple videos on audio storytelling, which is a new concept to me. I watched Ira Glass‘ videos on his explanation of audio storytelling. At first, he describes the main focus of audio stories. First, they should be raising interesting questions that are hopefully answered later in the story. And, there needs to … Continue reading About Audio Storytelling

I feel the key to certain emotions in pictures is the color scheme. I was unsure of whether to go with a highly contrasted black-and-white, or to leave it as this, so I’m gonna go with my gut.

For this daily create, we had to directly link a picture to an emotion. This is very interesting because different images have different imageries and connotations to everyone. #tdc1346 Take an emophoto. @ds106dc #ds106 #tdc1346 Emotions of admiration of this beautiful cookie and ice-cream match pic.twitter.com/VFKkReh2zC — miranda ds106 (@mirandabloggin) September 15, 2015 I just … Continue reading Daily Create 9/15/15
