Radio Boot Camp

Do you love Ira, have a secret crush on Terry Gross, or wanna be Audie Cornish when you grow up? Come to Radio Camp’s October Boot Camp and learn how to produce a radio story from start to finish. This hands-on class will cover the basics of writing for the ear (very different than print) and producing for radio using professional equipment and software. Be prepared to grab your gear and hit the streets. Learn interviewing and mic techniques by doing the real thing. Voicing will also be covered. Students will produce two stories over the course of the weekend.

Dates: Nov. 23 and 24th
Location: Union Docs, a non-profit arts and documentary space in Brooklyn
Tuition: $285 for early registration, afterwards, $315.
