I like the last line. I mean, I don't like it if it's true. But, I like it as an ending. "I guess I'm going blind soon. What can I do?" Thanks for sharing and good luck with making the rest of the story.
Hey... Thanks for listening.... You could sound design it. But, frankly, I'm not typically a fan of that. It's hard to do properly. So, the other way to do it is to write scenically. "Rob walked into the kitchen and looked around. Everything was a mess. A broken dish. The table turned over....."
She's at @vox.com now, but back in 2017, when I talked to Noel King, she was working at @npr.org's @planetmoney.bsky.social and she offered this writing advice: Imagine you walk into a bar to tell a friend a story about the economy. @prx.org . @transom.bsky.social . transom.org/2026/revisit...
More New Year inspiration on Sound School. This time from Kabir Jugram. For his first audio documentary, Kabir waded into a thorny topic that cut close to home - the problem South African men have expressing emotions. @radioworkshop.bsky.social. @transom.bsky.social @prx.org
After 2025, I sure as heck could use some inspiration. Well, I found some. Interviews w/ two young producers.
The first is 28-year-old Anna Van Dine who deployed an unusual maneuver in a documentary she made for @vermontpublic.org.

@rob-rosenthal.bsky.social thinks your New Year’s Resolution should be to attend a Transom Traveling Workshop. To help you along, this week’s @soundschoolpodcast.bsky.social features two stellar stories produced by new and emerging audio producers at a Transom workshop in Nashville back in 2019.
How honored am I? T H I S M U C H!
I had an article published in the excellent RadioDocReview re: intriguing changes at Radio Slovenia & how they're including more storytelling in their reporting.
Thanks: Siobhan McHugh, @abigailwincott.bsky.social, @aasiyalodhi.bsky.social, & Matej Praprotnik.
Let's hear it for newbies! My conversations w/ new & emerging producers are always enlightening. Like my chat with Champika Fernando. The narrative maneuver she pulled at the end of a profile she produced was.... well... magic! Especially for someone just starting out. @prx.org @transom.bsky.social
On this archival episode of @soundschoolpodcast.bsky.social, @rob-rosenthal.bsky.social discusses the composer and sound ecologist R. Murray Schafer with another amazing maker, Hildegard Westerkamp. Their work may change the way we think about sound. Listen. transom.org/2021/the-wor...
We're really excited about our new project, The Listeners, and doubly excited to start if off with Scott Carrier.
My ears swirled at Resonate in October but I was at a loss for words to describe what I heard. Which reminded me of Jazmine Green's lament about the limits of the words we use to describe our work. Check-out Jazmine's suggestions for a more expanded audio lexicon. @prx.org . @transom.bsky.social.
We have a throwback episode of @soundschoolpodcast.bsky.social for your day today. It’s a conversation between @rob-rosenthal.bsky.social and Jazmine T. Green about the lack of language we currently have to describe “podcasts.” Listen here: transom.org/2025/revisit... @prx.org
Thank you @franklangfitt.bsky.social for reporting from Indian Country. @npr.org.
In 2023, @rob-rosenthal.bsky.social interviewed @quillawrence.bsky.social for @soundschoolpodcast.bsky.social. Quil made a non-narrated audio obituary about a U.S. veteran Pete Reed. Listen to the conversation here: transom.org/2023/produci... @prx.org
Powerful stuff in this @soundschoolpodcast.bsky.social episode - the voices of young people talking to Samantha Brown. I’m not a crier but I had a big lump in my throat listening to this.

Sound School goes LIVE this week! From #SLOVENIA! My partner, @samanthabroun.bsky.social, interviews high school students she's never met. She cuts the chats to an essential 2 minutes. Schools play the stories to connect young people. It's called "Small True Things." @prx.org @transom.bsky.social
On the latest @soundschoolpodcast.bsky.social, @rob-rosenthal.bsky.social interviews Samantha Broun on “Small True Things” on the main stage at the annual Audio Festival in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Sam goes into her motivation for giving young people a caring and curious ear. @prx.org
Back in 2022, @rob-rosenthal.bsky.social interviewed Angela Evancie, the executive producer of “Brave Little State.” The show is a hidden gem about Vermont life. They engage listeners along the way. Learn more here. @prx.org @soundschoolpodcast.bsky.social @vermontpublic.org @jbcrane.bsky.social
"For the love of radio, get out of the studio." That's one of my mantras on Sound School. This morning, @npr.org's @danielestrin.bsky.social proved my point with yet another stellar report from from the field. #shoeleather
Susan Stamberg sang her own song at @npr.org. You could always tell it was Susan behind the mic. She died at the age of 87 in October. In honor of Susan, we present this archive episode of Sound School where she lays out her best practices for visual arts reporting. @prx.org @transom.bsky.social

• @samanthabroun.bsky.social digs into her project with teenagers, "Small True Things."

Back in 2016, @rob-rosenthal.bsky.social interviewed @stephaniefoo.bsky.social about a gripping and at times, hard to hear piece she did on @thisamericanlife.org called “The Favorite.”
It’s about producing a personal essay, even if it’s super challenging to do so. @soundschoolpodcast.bsky.social
Funny is hard. Wicked hard. Knowing when to land a joke and when not to in a story about grief is even harder. Yet, somehow, Neena Pathak has an uncanny ability to thread a needle through funny and deep heartache. @prx.org. @transom.bsky.social. @signalhillfm.bsky.social transom.org/2025/when-fu...
On the latest @soundschoolpodcast.bsky.social, @rob-rosenthal.bsky.social and Neena Pathak talked about grief and humor… and where the truth lies in all of this. It’s a great conversation that highlights a heartfelt audio piece entitled "Desperado."

Kids are remarkable. And capable of so much. “3rd Grade Audio” is a prime example of how simple it can be to make a really new radio story. Sometimes all it takes is the imagination of a 3rd grader.
