This is a rare opportunity to get the basics and learn the secrets from two leaders in the field of audio storytelling

You'll learn how to create audio stories that win hearts, minds and awards, and get great tips on how to find and build an audience for them.

The opportunities for aspiring storytellers who work with sound are greater than ever before.

The internet has opened up all kinds of possibilities. And recording and editing gear is more affordable than it's ever been.

Steve Wadhams of CBC Radio's Living Out Loud is an international award winning creative documentarian. He has spent forty years as a producer and is in demand as a teacher and mentor of radio storytelling in Canada, the USA, and in Europe where he led a highly successful series of workshops for staff at the BBC in London England. Steve has won all the world's major awards for radio, including the coveted Prix Italia. He is also the first non American to be honoured as an "Audio Luminary" by the Chicago based Third Coast International Audio Festival. Steve's work ranges from the journalistic to the impressionistic and he's always looking for new ways to tell a story on radio. He will share his expertise with you and give you advice on how to get your work on our venerable Mother Corp. (yes, it is still possible) 

Victoria Fenner is a documentary poet and audio artist whose works have been played on radio, in galleries, internet, on streetcorners and many other non-traditional venues for sound.Always thinking beyond the Sound Box (aka The Radio), she is also known as "The Grants Queen". She'll share some unconventional and profitable strategies for funding new audio work, including Canada Council and Ontario Arts Council.
