Thursday, Feb 29 at 6 p.m. @ KQED | How To Pitch Snap Judgment

Interested in how Snap Judgment picks their stories? Do you have an audio story that you want to air on Snap? Join us at the Podcast Garage at KQED for a workshop mixer with Snap Judgment creator and host Glynn Washington and the producers and editors of the show to learn how the team fields story pitches. The session will start with a one-hour panel conversation where the Snap team discusses how to pitch stories to them and what kinds of stories they are looking for, followed by Q&A and a mixer. Light snacks and refreshments will be served!

Doors open at 6:00 pm, event starts at 6:30 pm sharp.

Glynn Washington — Before creating the Snap Judgment radio show, Glynn worked as an educator, diplomat, community activist, actor, political strategist, fist-shaker, mountain-hollerer, and foot stomper.

Glynn composed music for the Kunst Stoff dance performances in San Francisco, rocked live spoken word poetry in Detroit, joined a band in Indonesia, wrote several screenplays, painted a daring series of self portraits, released a blues album, and thinks his stories are best served with cocktails.

Nancy López is the Managing Editor at Snap Judgment. She started in radio in 2006 when she joined Soul Rebel Radio, a collective of novice storytellers in Los Angeles. Since then, she’s worked as a producer for Radio Ambulante and Making Contact. Her stories have been featured on PRI’s The World, KALW in San Francisco, and Radio Bilingue.

Regina Bediako has produced features for media shops like HuffPost, Discovery Channel, NHK Japan Broadcasting and Epic (Vox Media). She enjoys dessert-based tourism and nerding out on storytelling devices via TV Tropes dot org.

David Exumé is a writer, DJ, and audio producer from central New Jersey. He’s a graduate of KALW’s Audio Academy and previously worked at KCRW and WPRB. He’s contributed essays and fiction to Joyland Magazine, Memoir Mixtapes, and Bandcamp Daily, and he recently wrote and scored a multimedia piece for DC Listening Lounge’s Sound Scene Festival. In his downtime, he flips samples, binges YouTube video essays, and makes friends with crows.
