Introducing Sound Judgment: If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t stop listening to some podcasts and why you can’t start listening to others, it all comes down to the storytelling decisions we makers make. Sound Judgment explores the ingredients and methods — the creative choices — that make audio storytelling magic. We dissect hosting skills, editorial strategies, character, scene-setting, formats, writing and revisions, and the psychology behind the art form. Come behind the scenes with us! by Sound Judgment
