“The Art of Audio Narrative,” an experimental, upper-division creative writing course, was made possible by the generous support of UConn Creative Writing and WHUS Radio. Most of the sixteen students who enrolled had little or no experience with audio production, so the course included hands-on training in multi-track recording and basic studio technique. The following audio narratives were culled from the students' final portfolios. Each piece was drafted, workshopped, and revised according to comments from the group. Happy listening!
