How can you get others to listen to your stories?

Spoken Audio =

  • Radio talk shows
  • Radio stories
  • Podcasts
  • "Audio posts"
  • Big frontier for digital audio = the car.
  • 2/3 of traditional radio listening occurs away from home, much of that in cars.
  • Increasingly people using cell phones to listen to online-only radio in their cars.

Producer:

  • Eye contact easier

= better interview

  • Easier to record or edit than video

Listener:

  • Participates with imagination
  • More intimate (headphones, voice)?
  • Easier to multitask while listening

Interview Subject:

  • Microphone is less intimidating
  • Measure of confidentiality
