Public radio documentary, sound-portraits, features.
Description/Treatment
Hearing Voices is public radio's home for innovative coverage of a range of issues, from health and environment to justice and democracy. We have several interrelated projects:
Hearing Voices from NPR is our weekly hour series, distributed by National Public Radio and produced by a consortium of Peabody Award winning independents from around the country. We launched in March 2008 and are already broadcast by 90+ stations. NPR hosts the weekly podcast of the series, and we archive all past episodes online.
Hearing Voices- Stories is a series of sound-portraits and documentaries broadcast twice-per month on NPR news magazines (All Things Considered, Day to Day) and other series. We often feature the work of emerging young producers, giving them their first national exposure.
Hearing Voices- Webworks are online photo-audio essays based on the radio productions. Our Hearvox YouTube channel houses our video work.
