Study Guide for Unit One:
Radio Lab
Here is a link to the podcast we listened to in class. I would like you to make a list of things you notice about the show--not about the subject, but about the music, the tone, the sound effects, the hosts, etc. I also want you to bring three ideas for conversations that might make a good show theme from the first two chapters we have covered. The link to the show is: http://www.radiolab.org/blogs/radiolab-blogland/2012/aug/20/rebroadcast-space/
