It's easy to make your own NPR-style radio stories! Skidmore's documentarians are committed to working with you to plan, produce and make audio shorts that we will air on WSPN, 91.1 FM. We'll show you our technology and software and let you know about the free and inexpensive tools that you can use at home.
Open to Skidmore and Saratoga community members of any age and background, these workshops are a free, low-commitment opportunity to start documenting your world, sharing your thoughts and taking over the airwaves. Want to capture and share a family member's stories of history and memory? Or talk with neighbors about the issues affecting your community? How about documenting a special event or a favorite place or reviewing a new restaurant, TV show or book?
We want to hear from you about how Skidmore's new Moore Documentary Studies Collaborative can help turn your audio dreams into radio realities!

About Adam Tinkle
Adam Tinkle creates, teaches and writes about music, sound, media and performance. Before moving to Skidmore in 2014, he was a founding broadcaster on KNSJ 89.1 FM, San Diego's first community radio station, where he led community workshops on radio-making and produced a weekly crowd-sourced music and documentary program. His award-winning solo performance A Mess of Things merges radio documentary with songs and video art. His upcoming projects include a sound design for Marina Abramovic's installation at the 2015 Venice Biennale.
At the center of Tinkle's work are strategies for artistic engagement, interactivity and pedagogy that draw on experimental music. In 2010 he co-founded the Universal Language Orchestra, a group of elementary-aged novice musicians that composed, improvised and built their own instruments. He subsequently created several similarly pathbreaking arts education programs across San Diego county, where his collaborations with his students and his audience-participatory works were shown at the Birch Aquarium, Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, San Diego Museum of Art, Old Globe Theatre and the Institute of Perception. In May 2014 his interactive sound sculpture the Shantytown Scrapblaster was permanently installed at the Media Arts Center San Diego. For more:adamtinkle.com
