Creating Immersive Audio Stories

Narrative podcasts are immersive, character-driven audio stories that blend cinematic storytelling with the intimacy of sound. In this course, you’ll develop, pitch, and write the first episode of your own narrative podcast, building a show bible along the way. We’ll explore genre, tone, theme, and framing devices, analyze standout series, and learn how to craft compelling characters, dramatic arcs, and high-concept ideas. Through lectures, script readings, and collaborative workshops, you’ll learn what it takes to go from idea to distribution—and participate in table reads to refine your pilot. By the end, you’ll have a polished first episode and a fully developed pitch deck, ready to record, submit, or shop as original IP.
