I am exhausted today and am stunned that I am actually back on a computer. I spent the past 2 days starring at a screen writing, editing, emailing, and finding just the right sound bites in an effort to put together my very 1st story for KALW News. I covered Wondercon, the Bay Area's big-daddy comic book convention. The story turned out fantastic. If you haven't already you should give it a listen, and then retweet it to all your friends.
Creating a 4 minute story is like nothing I've ever done before. Usually editors slash stories, cut them down to fit in a particular space. My editors wanted to add stuff to my story. Coming from WGAN, my sensibilities are to keep it short and cut out all superfluous words and information. Things are a bit different at KALW and it took a while but I'm finally warming up to the new and strange culture here. I'm off for the day now. I really need to get outside!
