Producers and radio fans alike were invited to produce short audio stories inspired by two books from the Prelinger Library, and including the voice of a stranger. Four submissions were chosen as the 2008 TCF ShortDocs and in this session were presented by their producers, along with a few other noteworthy submissions.
Presenting the 2008 TCF ShortDocs: Radio Ephemera was moderated by TCF artistic director Julie Shapiro and featured producers John Biewen, Sarah Boothroyd, David P. Earle, and Megan Vigeant.
