Some exquisitely awkward examples of embarrassment in #audio and film #documentary. abigailwincott.wordpress.com/2025/01/13/a...

This has historical context - Information with capital i - and still lets you make your own story. Also has more than one interview playing at once yet still intelligible, which is a trick I’ve not heard before 😁 www.rte.ie/radio/docono...

Listening to a few of Kaye Mortley’s docs and liking them but wishing for a little more story structure. But then listening to heavily explained ones and wishing to be left alone a bit to listen after my ears were used to free rein.

I’ve been listening to and watching a lot of documentaries this week for research and planning teaching. It’s inspiring and also emotionally draining. And now I have to go Christmas food shopping, which is quite the wake up call.

“It’s made me challenge how you can tell a story… we’re in danger of having a really beige audio landscape” “I found Short Cuts to be one of the most beautiful, creative and diverse podcasts available” Moved hearing listeners & makers on @BBCR4Feedback www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Einstein Fix is BBC documentary by Catherine Boulle. The notes say it's told in 'movements'. It interests me the way some doc makers talk about their work in musical terms. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m... #radio #podcast

The strength of feeling over the last few days has blown us away. Underneath the reaction it strikes us that there is a deeper, more important anger - an anger that asks - where are the structures to support creative audio? Where do new audio imaginations get to grow? 🪴

New issue of RadioDoc Review out on a new website and looking very nice. In-depth reviews of podcasts, articles about the craft of audio storytelling and assorted other bits and bobs www.uowoajournals.org/rdr/ #radio #podcast #audio

2nd series of VoixCollective’s It Happened in Nigeria just finished tinyurl.com/2b4zcdj6 Love this #podcast. Simple storytelling, close to the mic, you feel you're almost in their head. I love the hesitations, repetitions, uncertainties left in, but still at 15-25 min they feel short and intense.

New #PhD briefs at Falmouth University (some studentships available!) on creative approaches to heritage challenges www.falmouth.ac.uk/research/phd... (no idea why the uni website picked this image...)

Not a format you hear much in audio documentary - La Sage Femme/the midwife by Anna Salzberg/Arte is full-on fly-on-the-wall, 'observational mode'. Delicately done. As a non-native speaker this is harder than narrated docs. I think much goes over my head. www.arteradio.com/serie/la_sag...

Listening to a lot of RFI podcasts for research and I’m going to be interviewing the people who make them. The quality is often wonderful. They are still out recording lots on location, not just endless zoom calls. Like this environmental issues series www.rfi.fr/fr/podcasts/...
