Radio Master's Projects 2005

Listen to the Radio Master's Documentaries produced in 2004-2005. Each is a radio documentary report or series of reports exploring a single topic, totaling approximately 25-30 minutes of air time. Master's documentaries aim for the highest level of sound production and storytelling achievement, including scene building and multilayered sound mixing using Pro Tools. Most projects are available for rebroadcast by contacting the reporter.
