When you get back it’s time to edit some more. Once you’ve written your script you can now do the most important thing you can possibly do.When I’m writing a script for this show, I can hear myself saying it as I write. If you can, if your format allows for it, write a script in your own voice.There are a lot of parallels between their process and what I’ve read about how other great radio is made, whether it’s This American Life or a story for NPR.Īs someone who tries to make great radio all on my own, I think a lot of this can be scaled down to a one person show.
