Project Details
Listen Local: Audio Storytelling in Duluth. Listen Local will draw on the tradition of oral history interviews of elders and significant local residents and will provide ways to share those voices and stories more widely through audio storytelling. This storytelling will be done through an "Archives Alive" Reader's Theater production and by creating podcasts that will be available on local websites or possibly broadcast on local radio.

Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
The goal of Listen Local: Audio Storytelling is to share the stories recorded in oral history interviews through 1 Reader's Theater performance and at least 6 podcasts. The project will enable me to develop as scriptwriter (for reader's theater) and a radio/podcast producer by attending a detailed training about radio documentaries. Evaluation will be possible through the production of and tracking attendance at the Reader's Theater event, and through the posting and availability of 6 quality local history podcasts. Feedback from listeners and audience members will be solicited and collected. New skills developed will be demonstrated and evaluated through the quality of the productions.
