    How to collect Vox Populi | Julia Furlan

    ‘Vox Populi’, ‘vox pops’, or simply ‘vox’ is the voice of the people. It is short interviews with members of the public. Vox gives texture to your audio and allows a listener to hear variations on the answer. But many new Producers find it nerve wracking to gather vox populi. Julia Furlan is a Brazilian-American podcast host, editor and an adjunct professor at The New School and NYU. In this class, she will give you some fool-proof tips and tricks for gathering vox - from who to approach, where to approach them, and how to troubleshoot when you’re getting lots of ‘nos’. Thank you to Rose Eveleth from the Flash Forward podcast for letting us use audio from the vox for that show: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/flash-forward/id994349813?app=podcast
