Abel states at the end of the book, "...couldn't leave anything out. In fact I kept adding more in." It felt like it. Ironically, where it bogged down the most was in the section about editing. The vast range of characters became overwhelming, too. Since she chose to structure the book thematically, we'd get an interview with the team from one show, and then another show, and then another. In the next section we'd see most of them again, but I would lose track of who was who, and Abel rarely made re-introductions. It made for confusion and a lot of flipping back to previous sections. But, overall it is a good book. Anyone interested in podcasting needs to read this book, and anyone interested in storytelling could benefit from it also.

"Go behind the scenes of seven of today's most popular narrative radio shows and podcasts, including This American Life and RadioLab, in graphic narrative. Every week, millions of devoted fans tune in to or download This American Life, The Moth, Radiolab, Planet Money, Snap Judgment, Serial, Invisibilia and other narrative radio shows. Using personal stories to breathe life into complex ideas and issues, these beloved programs help us to understand ourselves and our world a little bit better. Each has a distinct style, but every one delivers stories that are brilliantly told and produced. Out on the Wire offers an unexpected window into this new kind of storytelling--one that literally illustrates the making of a purely auditory medium. With the help of This American Life's Ira Glass, Jessica Abel, a cartoonist and devotee of narrative radio, uncovers just how radio producers construct narrative, spilling some juicy insider details. Jad Abumrad of RadioLab talks about chasing moments of awe with scientists, while Planet Money's Robert Smith lets us in on his slightly goofy strategy for putting interviewees at ease. And Abel reveals how mad--really mad--Ira Glass becomes when he receives edits from his colleagues. Informative and engaging, Out on the Wire demonstrates that narrative radio and podcasts are creating some of the most exciting and innovative storytelling available today"--
"This graphic novel takes readers behind the scenes of their favorite radio shows and podcasts to show the storytelling techniques and ideas that produce these beloved programs"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

For 90% of readers, this book will destroy any lingering notion that professional radio would be a fun career (hats off to the rest). For me personally, uncovering the "movie magic" of audio storytelling made me slightly uncomfortable, because radio gives the illusion of being so unmediated and trustworthy. I was naively surprised at how cobbled together the narratives are, with crowd sounds from the Internet, invented timelines, etc. I so prefer nonfiction where the creative process is footnoted and out in the open - but of course writers lie to tell the truth. I would still have preferred some more in-depth discussion of journalistic ethics applied to these kinds of narratives.
I would also have appreciated more discussion of the technical aspects of radio, but probably Abel was wise to leave it out; her book was already sprawling and the tech-y stuff would have dated it.
Jessica Abel is a really strong comics artist; I love her style! (
