The BBC Academy Podcast - How to create stories with sound

Download How to create stories with sound

The stories aren't about sound - they are created using sound.

Hugh Sykes uses sound to tell evocative stories and paint pictures in the audiences’ minds. The renowned foreign correspondent plays clips of his work - from the whistling winds of Pakistan to reporting the aftermath of the Tunisia terror attack in 2016.

"One of my golden rules is that a radio reporter has to wear headphones like a camera operator has to look through a viewfinder." – Hugh Sykes

In this podcast, you will learn how to:

- effectively tell stories on the radio - get the best sound for each story - approach difficult situations for newsgathering - tackle sensitive topics
