    Deploy This One Tiny Maneuver to Improve Audio Essays

    Cloe Axelson, a senior editor at WBUR, was feeling like the essays she produced that were written by listeners weren't sounding conversational enough -- until she deployed this one simple trick. It's a trick any producer could use to help narrators sound more like themselves.

    Witness to an Execution

    How powerful can audio storytelling be? So powerful that distraught listeners stand-up, wave their arms, and yell "Turn it off! Turn it off!" That's how good the documentary we're featuring on Sound School is.

    Silence Is Worth Your Time

    Back when I worked at radio stations, people joked "Silence is bad juju." We're not supposed to include much, if any, silence in audio stories -- for broadcast or podcast. Noam Hassenfeld went the opposite direction and embraced silence -- lots of it! -- on a recent episode of Unexplainable, the science podcast from Vox. Noam explains how he craftily deployed silence in his storytelling on this episode of Sound School.

    Revisiting: A Cow A Day

    The first question I had to ask Pejk Malinovsky was "Why the hell did you think that would make for a good radio story?" Of course it was.

Find out what he means on this episode of Sound School.
