Trade ReviewHow could something so good get better? Well, John Biewen and Alexa Dilworth have managed to do just that.
Reality Radio will remain required reading for all my students--especially given the addition of essays from some of my radio heroes like Alix Spiegel, David Isay, and Sarah Koenig.- Rob Rosenthal, independent radio producer and lead instructor at the Transom Story Workshop;
""Somehow in this manic digital age,
Reality Radio-a mere book!-is more relevant than ever. Form and function manifest, here is the story of contemporary documentary audio, thoughtfully composed and offered straight from its most respected producers.
Reality Radio is required reading for anyone at the beginning of her audio career. Or in the middle. Or finishing up. And for all invested listeners. This is radio canon.""- Julie Shapiro, executive producer, Radiotopia from PRX
