Small Packages: The Art and Practice of Short Audio Storytelling (Fall 2025) This 4-week course will uncover the art of creating short form audio — from generating ideas to making the damn thing.

Don't miss your chance to explore the art of short-form audio through creative exercises, careful listening, discussions, and play co-taught by audio makers and collaborators @taliaaugustidis.bsky.social and @jayy-gee-bee.bsky.social.

Our @inthedarkradio.bsky.social event with @taliaaugustidis.bsky.social in Philly over the weekend was very lovely and life-affirming. There are few things better than people gathered together listening to audio stories.

Thanks to @firemuseumpresents.bsky.social for co-hosting.

Can't wait for this! The world is pretty bleak at the moment, so it's been a particular joy choosing silly, funny, moving audio pieces for this show.

We're thrilled to be co-presenting the Philly-debut of London-based audio collective @inthedarkradio.bsky.social!

Curator @taliaaugustidis.bsky.social will present a selection of audio pieces inspired by the theme of LOVE at The Perch on 6/7.

Short Is Beautiful Talia Augustidis shares what makes her In The Dark events successful…plus don’t miss three short audio opportunities at the end of the post...

Long is long...but short is good too!

Dig in here for a look at what's behind the trend for shorter audio. And where it fits in the wider context.

Taqwa is one of the most thoughtful listeners I know. Come and here what she's selected!

Where is time, to whom does it belong, and how do we share it?

Join Taqwa Sadiq for an evening of audio pieces that melt, squeeze, fracture, stretch and crinkle the idea of time itself.

Wed 19th Feb, at Camden Open Air Gallery.

Text reads, “Manuela Saragosa, executive producer, FT audio OK this is totally random (not just ‘quite random’!) but in this multimedia world can I recommend an audio essay which elevated the format to art and was produced and reported by an award-winning freelance audio journalist who’s also done work for the FT, Talia Augustidis: Lights Out (BBC Sounds) It was made for a Radio 4 series, which has sadly been discontinued this year amid wider BBC cuts.

“[Lights Out: Dead Ends] elevated the format to art…”

Great to see this nod to @taliaaugustidis.bsky.social’s BBC Radio 4 Lights Out in the @financialtimes.com favourites of the year post! www.ft.com/content/7849...

“As some of the companies still making money in podcasting work to convince audiences that what they really want is just “audio content,” we are asserting ourselves as audio documentarians.”

Sound Fields is packed with original thought and essential commentary on the state and craft of audio doc. In their Transom manifesto, @kallipearl.bsky.social and @audiosand.bsky.social offer hope, reflection AND tidbits about (super) exciting projects in the pipeline!

Pleased to be one of the "weirdo experimenters" @msmirandasawyer.bsky.social so beautifully writes about in her Observer column this week.

SAVE SHORT CUTS!

We urge the BBC to reconsider their cancellation of BBC Radio 4's Short Cuts. It is irreplaceable, with a dedicated audience, an unmatched cultural impact with a team that nurtures talent and stories with a rare sensibility and care.

At last night's Audio Production Awards, Josie Long, host of Short Cuts, won bronze for presenter of the year. Short Cuts alum @taliaaugustidis.bsky.social won bronze for producer of the year. Short Cuts head producer Eleanor McDowall won silver for her work on another doc — Lights Out: Dust.

I think this is one of the stupidest, most short-sighted decisions imaginable.

Short Cuts has reliably delivered the best, most beautiful, most innovative, most moving audio on the BBC, or anywhere.
