About This Course:
​
Patterned after the award winning WNYC podcast, this course introduces students interested in journalism to the world of audio storytelling. In this course, we work to seek out stories in science, music, arts and literature that give insight into the human experience. In small teams, students research, interview, record, and produce documentary segments weaving content and music into thoughtful explorations to share with the Hawken community. Building toward the final project, major assessments include background research including annotated bibliography and presentation of findings, critical review of published podcasts, interview preparation and follow-up, and creative non-fiction exercises in making content approachable. Based at the Gries Center, the class makes maximum use of the University Circle area, spending significant time getting out into labs, museums, galleries, hospitals, and other places where compelling stories are happening.
