Good news! Your Audio Essays have been uploaded to the web; you can now create a link to them in your blog so that other people can listen to your wise words.
Of course, you could just stick a link in and let it go at that:
Here’s my audio essay.
Or you could take advantage of the fact that your blog is visual and verbal: write a few sentences about your topic and why you chose it, then add a small image about your topic.
Link to your audio using the following URL syntax:

On editing audio…

Audio Shortdocs

Got an e-mail from a friend today about “short audio.” Seems WBEZ in Chicago sponsors an audio storytelling contest called Third Coast International Audio Festival. In 2006, the topic was “99 Ways to Tell a Radio Story” and this year it was “Dollar Storeys,” in which each story began with a purchase at a Dollar Store. Listen to some of these, and start thinking about ways to turn your OpEd audio piece into a work of “creative non-fiction” with more or different audio, sound effects, music….and images and/or video.
(Just a hint of things to come with our final project…)
