Do you have an idea for a short radio documentary about a person, place or happening in West Philadelphia? Bring your project ideas and get instruction in scriptwriting, production planning, sound recording and editing. Topics to be covered include: recommendations for field recording, types of microphones, recording quality, formats, suggested program lengths and meeting broadcast standards. This workshop is designed to give participants a firm foundation in the basics of radio production and storytelling. The intention of this workshop is to create new works to air on WPEB. At the time of registration participants must submit a short description of their idea for the instructor to review prior to the start of class.

Character, plot, story, description, soundscape, dialogue, these and more are the elements that combine in the author controlled medium of dramatic radio.

This radio scriptwriting workshop will guide workshop participants through the process of creating short radio plays for WPEB. Participants should come to this workshop with a story idea for a topic or issue relevant to their community, and be prepared to get dramatic!
