This has historical context - Information with capital i - and still lets you make your own story. Also has more than one interview playing at once yet still intelligible, which is a trick I’ve not heard before 😁 www.rte.ie/radio/docono...

Piano lessons, Sliding Scales

A story that follows a number of girls who are taking piano lessons, some who want to learn and some who don't.

Listening to a few of Kaye Mortley’s docs and liking them but wishing for a little more story structure. But then listening to heavily explained ones and wishing to be left alone a bit to listen after my ears were used to free rein.

I’ve been listening to and watching a lot of documentaries this week for research and planning teaching. It’s inspiring and also emotionally draining. And now I have to go Christmas food shopping, which is quite the wake up call.

Einstein Fix is BBC documentary by Catherine Boulle. The notes say it's told in 'movements'. It interests me the way some doc makers talk about their work in musical terms. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m... #radio #podcast

The strength of feeling over the last few days has blown us away. Underneath the reaction it strikes us that there is a deeper, more important anger - an anger that asks - where are the structures to support creative audio? Where do new audio imaginations get to grow? 🪴

So many reasons to save Short Cuts. We have wonderful longform and serial podcasts but there’s something special about Short Cuts and unless there’s a proposal for an even better replacement, it’s worth fighting for. Please consider signing if you love listening or teaching or making it!

There's a letter urging the BBC to reconsider their cancellation of Short Cuts. "It is an irreplaceable show, with a dedicated audience, an unmatched cultural impact and a team that nurtures talent and stories with a rare sensibility and care." Sign the open letter: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
