Thursday, April 11 at 6 p.m. @ KQED | Elevating Audio Stories with Sound
Wondering how to create sound-rich audio stories with a one/two-person podcast team? Interested in using sound and music to enrich your audio pieces? This podcasting workshop features the makers of KQED’s Bay Curious podcast, which uses listener questions as the jumping-off point to explore what makes the San Francisco Bay Area unique. In this session, Bay Curious host and editor Olivia Allen-Price and producer Katrina Schwartz delve into their editorial and creative process for designing the sound for their podcast episodes. You will hear clips from the show and learn about ways that they use field recordings, music, voices, and other sounds to create immersive scenes and bring stories to life.
