OUT ON THE WIRE - JESSICA ABEL TASCHENBUCH

A Library Journal Best Book of 2015 Go behind the scenes of seven of today's most popular
narrative radio shows and podcasts  including This American Life and RadioLab  in graphic
narrative. Every week  millions of devoted fans tune in to or download This American Life  The
Moth  Radiolab  Planet Money  Snap Judgment  Serial  Invisibilia and other narrative radio
shows. Using personal stories to breathe life into complex ideas and issues  these beloved
programs help us to understand ourselves and our world a little bit better. Each has a distinct
style  but every one delivers stories that are brilliantly told and produced. Out on the Wire
offers an unexpected window into this new kind of storytelling-one that literally illustrates
the making of a purely auditory medium. With the help of This American Life's Ira Glass 
Jessica Abel  a cartoonist and devotee of narrative radio  uncovers just how radio producers
construct narrative  spilling some juicy insider details. Jad Abumrad of RadioLab talks about
chasing moments of awe with scientists  while Planet Money's Robert Smith lets us in on his
slightly goofy strategy for putting interviewees at ease. And Abel reveals how mad-really
mad-Ira Glass becomes when he receives edits from his colleagues. Informative and engaging  Out
on the Wire demonstrates that narrative radio and podcasts are creating some of the most
exciting and innovative storytelling available today.
