Third Coast Pocket Conference Folgen

Two moments are colliding: An oppressive politics of hate and repression, and a boom in narrative storytelling. So how do we use one to confront the other? It’s time to think deeply, meta-critically, and proactively about the work of narrative storytelling; to challenge the ways that podcasts privilege whiteness, quirkiness, empathy, and centrism, using a critical reframing lens.At the 2018 Third Coast Conference, Chenjerai Kumanyika (Rutger’s Professor of Journalism and Media Studies, host of Uncivil & contributor to Seeing White) and Sandhya Dirks (KQED reporter and host of American Suburb) offered techniques to explode traditional narratives. How do we reframe the way we conceive, report, and compose stories?This session challenges the illusion that there is an innocent, objective, or purely entertaining story. All stories are stories about power, and our power as storytellers is to better interrogate the structures that shape, and too often determine, not just our understandings but people’s lives.You can listen to all the sessions from previous years of the conference at ThirdCoastFestival.org.

We're kicking off this season of the Pocket Conference with the closing event of the conference: the Awards Ceremony for the 2018 Third Coast / Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Competition.This year's Awards Ceremony was historic for a few reasons. First and foremost: when the award-winning producers took the stage in Chicago, they set a new standard for awards speeches — using the microphone to push for structural, political & creative change in the audio world.You can listen to all of the winning stories from the 2018 competition at ThirdCoastFestival.org.

On this episode we’re bringing you another session from the 2018 Audiocraft Conference in Sydney, Australia.While there's often talk about creating the Next Big Thing in podcasting, Eleanor McDowall (Falling Tree Productions & Radio Atlas) and Helen Zaltzman (The Allusionist from Radiotopia) are curious about small, quiet acts of invention. In this session, they discuss ways they play with form to create something that sounds fresh and surprises listeners, season after season.If you like what you hear on this episode, subscribe to the Audiocraft podcast or check them out at audiocraft.com.au.
