Tuesday’s happy trees

From Tree to Shining Tree

For our second night of #ds106radio listening, we heard the Radiolab episode From Tree to Shining Tree. Instead of drama, this was more pop science. But it made the topic fascinating and kept the story moving through a creative use of background music and sounds and thoughtful editing. The way the voices were woven together is worth analyzing. They brought commentary into conversations, in a way that helped keep the story moving and helped keep it down to its essence. How might we use those techniques in our own stories?
