Ten Years of Radio Atlas (Video Podcast Collection)

<p>Note: this collection is all video podcast because it is a celebration of audio subtitles.  You'll need to experience it on a platform that supports video files.</p><p>Radio Atlas is an incredible curatorial force.  The works that Radio Atlas has featured over the past ten years represent some of the most ambitious, creative, and sonically singular productions from around the world.  None are in English, and they rarely feature linear narratives, or span eight episodes, or include signposting.  These are sophisticated works that trust their listeners to take a conceptual leap.  </p><p>Limiting our ears to programming in English inherently limits our creativity and approach to story, not to mention our understanding of the world.  But subtitling audio has always created a unique problem because cadence, diction, and silence are as much a part of our work as the words that are spoken.  We hear speech, not just words.  The genius in Radio Atlas is the ability to mirror speech with subtitling.</p><p>The works we’ve chosen for this collection come from Croatia, Denmark, and Holland.  Just a few of the more than 30 countries from which Radio Atlas represented in the Radio Atlas catalogue.  They explore memory loss, phone sex lines, Greenlandic mysteries, and a little touch of true crime.  Listening can open new pathways to understanding documentary, and new worlds to visit between the ears.  You can find so much more on their podcast Radio Atlas, or on their website <a href="http://radioatlas.org"><strong>radioatlas.org</strong></a>.  </p><p>******</p><p>About Radio Atlas:</p><p>Radio Atlas is an English-language home for subtitled audio from around the world.
