Out on the Wire

"Go behind the scenes of seven of today's most popular narrative radio shows and podcast, including This American Life and Radiolab, in this Graphic Narrative"

Every week, millions of devoted fans tune in to or download This American Life, The Moth, Radiolab, Planet Money, Snap Judgement, Serial, Invisibilia, and other narrative radio shows. Using personal stories to breathe life into complex ideas and issues, these beloved programs held us to understand ourselves and our world a little bit better. Each has a distinct style, bu every one delivers stories that are brilliantly told and produced. Out on the Wire offers an unexpected window into this new kind of storytelling - one that litteraly illustrates the making of a pure auditory medium.
With the help of This American Life's Ira Glass, Jessica AAbel, a cartoonist and decotee of narrative radio, uncovers just how radio producers construct narrative, spilling some juicy insider details. jad Abumrad of Radiolab talks about chasing moments of awe with scientists, while Planet Money's Robert Smith lets in on his slightly goof strategy for putting interviewees at ease. And Abel reveals how mad - really mad - Ira Glass becomes when he receives edits from his colleagues. Informative and engaging, Out on the Wire demonstrates that narrative radio and podcasts are creating some of the most exciting and innovative storytelling avaiable today.
