    Radio Diaries: The Art of Audio Storytelling

    RADIO DIARIES THE ART OF AUDIO STORYTELLING Joe Richman, producer and host of Radio Diaries, leads work x work Creative Director, Scott Newman, through a discussion about experience, craft, and audio storytelling. Drawing from his experience of “being in front of the mic as opposed to behind the mic,” Richman began as a reporter and producer before switching to the other side to pioneer his own form of immersive journalism. Taking the interviewer out of the narrative, he hands the storytelling directly to the characters themselves—creating audio diaries. There’s something about audio that really allows people to relax and be themselves.” Listen to examples of Radio Diaries’ award-winning documentaries, including their most recent series, “working,” based on newly discovered tapes recorded in the 70’s by author Studs Terkel.

    Art x Feminism

    For this conversation, four women who transcend cultures and mediums come together for a fascinating exploration of the effects of gender and social justice on creative process. We are joined by artist, MIT Media Lab fellow, and founder of Slow Factory Céline Semaan, known for transforming NASA satellite imagery into wearable prints. Semaan discusses how her experiences as a Lebanese refugee have directly influenced her work and ethos. We also chat with Lainya Magaña, the self-made founder of A&O PR, who delves into artistic inspiration and her role as a woman of color in a mostly white art world; and Rachel Lee Hovnanian, a new media artist whose sculpture, installations, paintings, and chemistry experiments are influenced by everything from artificial insemination to the instant gratification of junk food. Hosted by Laura Feinstein, co-producer of work x work ON AIR and former editor at Fusion’s Sex + Life vertical, this discussion is mandatory listening for those seeking to understand the effects of feminism and activism on today's creative culture.​
