The Atlantic: How Radiolab is changing the sound of the radio
“What’s different about Radiolab (and what I think is changing about the web) is that it *is* a production, just one of a very new kind. Radiolab is actually post-blog and post-livestream. It’s not aping the oratory of old or the raggedness of the new. It’s a hybrid that takes lessons from the past, recent and deep. “
“I was asked by @KatieMoffat what I thought best practise was for interviewing people and realised I had little idea. I know there are meant to be certain rules or techniques used in conducting an interview but I have fell into my own (untrained) way of doing things.
