Influences from Various Disciplines

Creative audio journalism and storytelling draws inspiration from various disciplines like literature, art, and film. For instance, TechS Town showcases literary influence through its writing style and use of metaphor. Additionally, the early years of Radio Lab reflect inspiration from SoundArt and avant-garde music, evident in the innovative sound layering techniques. Documentaries have also influenced audio storytelling, as seen in Nick Vanderkolk's approach of asking questions off-mic like a film producer.
