LISTEN: 10 Austin Stories From Students In The Transom Traveling Workshop

Rob Rosenthal
Ten emerging radio producers learning audio storytelling at the Transom Traveling Workshop at KUT.

Earlier this month, KUT hosted the Transom Traveling Workshop, a weeklong training program for up-and-coming audio producers from all over the country. It was the workshop's first time ever in Austin, and the 10 participants were given a simple task: profile an Austinite – any Austinite – who they thought were interesting.

We had a wide range of stories that came out of that assignment. Take a listen to each of the students' stories below.
