-FNM= farm to market, that is what roads were made for

Key take outs from the reading:

-Biewan_Intro to Reality Radio-

-“Whatever you do. He said. Don’t call these shows documentaries, that is instant death”.

-Documentary- we think the good and the bad, but most likely the bad.

-“characters you could get to know. scenes you could walk in to.”

-“there is no absolute, objective truth”. as radio producers, every decision we make is to sway viewer, whatever form that may be in. Whether it be emotionally or their opinion on a particular subject

-the difference between these radio docs is their decision to focus on the smaller things- it focuses on the close up portrait as it relies ENTIRELY on sound.

-try not explain and give listeneners everything at once, give them bits of the puzzle that come together later.

-Brooks aims to engage people’s imaginations
