What does he remember from three months ago?
"Naptime" was created for the 2006 TCF public audio challenge, 99 Ways to Tell a Radio Story. To find out more, see the Extras section below.
Julia Barton is an independent writer, producer and editor based in St. Paul, Minnesota. Her recent work has appeared on Studio 360, CBC Radio, 99% Invisible, and other programs. She's also a media trainer in the former Soviet Union. Currently she's getting ready to head for Ukraine and Russia as a correspondent for PRI's The World.
This TCF audio challenge, inspired by the French literary group Oulipo, was a collaboration with cartoonist Matt Madden.
With 99 Ways to Tell a Radio Story, the TCF challenged producers to create pieces adhering to the following guidelines: they had to begin with some manifestation of the notion, “To begin with, they never got along”; they had to include a prerecorded voice, a rhythmic noise, and an exclamation; and they had to run 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Producer Julia Barton went with a production style she describes as "3-year-old conversational."
