This mini-workshop will walk you through how to teach the narrative non-fiction storytelling approach using audio and interviews.

The growth of of the podcasting field has skyrocketed globally; a lot of people are both listening to and creating podcasts. There are many interview style podcasts, but creating narrative non-fiction takes time: there’s the story idea, gathering interviews, music and nat sounds, writing the script, narrating the script and bringing it all together in the production process. How can you teach that to students … in one semester? This mini-workshop will address each step in the process and how this pedagogical approach enhances the digital humanities.
