This talk will explore how to use story, sound, and conversation to communicate scientific ideas. Science coverage demands more than just good storytelling and clear communication of an idea or new scientific finding. We will discuss the process of story-finding and interviewing and address audience and story telling problems that are unique to the context of science reporting. While we will explore some of the unique qualities of long-form radio production (and the techniques employed at Radiolab in particular), we will focus on uncovering simple design elements and story structures that you can apply to your own work.
