Tuning Your Work:
Creating Great Radio
Radio is part art, part science, part skill, part luck. If you’re reading this, it means you’re interested in telling stories with audio. You may be a newspaper reporter looking to expand into audio. You may be a student starting to work at your college radio station. You may be a photographer who wants to put your pictures to sound. You could be the next superstar pod caster. You may be an NPR listener who wants to know how your favorite shows make radio magic. Throughout this guide, you will see us reference “radio.” As you well know, these days radio skills can be useful well beyond the radio medium. We hope this guide helps you achieve your audio goals…radio and otherwise.
At B-Side we like our stories to break the rules. But before you can break them, it’s good to know what they are. This guide contains the rules for creating great radio. As you read through it, we encourage you to follow links to sample scripts, sample audio and other examples. This is a work in progress, so please send all comments and suggestions to comments@bsideradio.org.
