A few episodes ago, I talked about my experience with KCRW's Radio Race, a 24-hour "contest" where participants produce four-minute radio segments based on the same brief.
In this episode, I talk with Scott Wen, who co-produced one the contest's finalists, The Persimmon Tree.
Topics:
- What to do when you do an interview that you can't use (or don't want to use)
- Getting ideas for radio segments
- Working with a team/partner
- Using non-English languages on an English radio station
- Keeping guests on track during interviews
- Competition in radio (and how to look at it)
- Comparing yourself to other podcasters and radio journalists
- Using your non-podcasting skills to make a podcast
- What to do when your first (or second...or sometimes your third) idea doesn't work out
