Although perhaps when I selected this class I only had a vague understanding of what a “transgression story” was, I began to develop a bit of an understanding after the first week of classes. I’m still getting around the idea of what a transgression story is and what sort of styles can apply to it.

I have an interest in sound and story telling however and I think this will be a class that can help to develop my audio skills which are rudimentary as well as hone my story telling skills. I’m also guessing it might push me out of my comfort zone a little as chances are I will end up having to use my own voice for recording at one point or another, something I’m not accustomed too or that comfortable with.

So far I have enjoyed listening to the radio narratives and documentary for the class listenings/readings and have found it a very useful way to fast track my understanding of the whole idea of sound as a medium. It’s not something that I’ve done a lot of before so I’ve got some catching up to do in comparison to a lot of my class mates who all seem to have a broad understanding of podcasting and radio narrative/documentary and already have listened to a comprehensive back catalogue of such material.
