Summary

This week, I pull the curtain back on my process and look at two public radio stories I reported back in 2008 when I began to find my voice as a reporter -- and started to realize that I might want to have my own show where I could geek out freely. Along for ride is my former editor at Studio 360 and mentor: David Krasnow. We talk about what goes into making an audio feature, why I needed more "sign posting," and how hard it is to not sound like Ira Glass. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:38.4	and then shoot a mini-mail saying,
0:40.0	all right, I'm ready for an edit.
0:42.3	And then over the phone, I would read my narration to him,
0:45.9	and then hold the phone up to my computer speaker
0:48.4	and play those sound bites.
0:50.5	So from his end, it should sound like a stripped down,
