Introduction

This page features an 'audio essay', a new concept with which we experimented in our audio production course this year. The aim was to apply principles drawn from qualitative social research methodology to a reflective discussion of our experiences of putting together audio documentaries. At the bottom of the page, there is an explanation of the relationship between my own approach to the practice of producing audio documentaries and principles drawn from qualitative social research methodology. The right hand panel lists concept drawn from social research that I find of value to my own practice. In the main panel, I present a series of radio talks reflecting on different aspects of my experience of producing an audio documentary. Each talk draws on the theoretical concepts that I discuss on the page. By listening to the talks and studying the text, listeners \ readers will hopefully find that theory and practice comes together into a meaningful whole.


Radio Drama

The Egazini Outreach Project is an organisation based in Extension six of the Grahamstown location. It is to this organisation that a fellow student and I have been assigned. Egazini boasts all forms of artwork from lino printing to sewing to drama. We'll be working with the drama team in the hope of putting together a series of short radio dramas. Such a project is meant to benefit both us as radio producers and them as actors.
