An Evening of Radio Storytelling in Woods Hole

Atlantic Public Media will present a public listening event to celebrate the creation of new audio work by students at this spring’s Transom Story Workshop.  It will be held from 7 – 10 pm on Thursday, May 22nd  at the Community Hall, 68 Water Street, in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.  Admission is free.  Seating is limited.

The event is sponsored by Atlantic Public Media, the local non-profit organization that founded our public radio station, WCAI, and created the Peabody Award-winning public media website Transom.org, a showcase and workshop for new public media. 

According to Transom Story Workshop instructor Rob Rosenthal, “The variety of stories produced this spring is rather startling. This workshop, our sixth, students have assembled stories about a new and experimental deep-sea diving suit, a poetry group for senior citizens, eel poaching, and a drummer with a hook for a hand. See what I mean?”

Since early April, nine beginning radio students have been living in Woods Hole learning the craft of telling stories with sound. The students range in age from early 20's to mid 40's, and come from as nearby as Nantucket and as far away as Los Angeles. The stories they’ve produced focus on our local area, and we expect some of the people they’ve profiled or talked with will be in the audience.  A question and answer period will follow each piece.

Executive Director, Jay Allison says, “It's always great to see the community turn out for this event –– to discover what the students have discovered, to meet the people they've met. And it's especially great to realize that all these stories exist right here, right under our noses.”

The listening event will precede a brief graduation ceremony and the public is urged to join us in applauding Transom Story Workshop’s sixth graduating class.
