Third Coast Conference: The Sundance of Radio

Posted by: David Maxon on November 1, 2007 09:32 PM | Comments (1)

Earlier this evening I sat down with Third Coast Festival's Executive Director Johanna Zorn and Managing Director Julie Shapiro to talk a bit about the goals of Third Coast, radio as a visual medium, Johnny Appleseed, and how Third Coast is and is not like a film festival.

Johanna and Julie were nice enough to take time out of their breakneck festival schedule to talk. I think if you wonder what Third Coast is all about or if your are just interested in hearing the wisdom of a couple people who think a great deal about the world of audio, this is a worthwhile listen.

Note: Julie is the one who didn't eat breakfast. Johanna answers the first question. I’m the one who launches into questions without introducing my interviewees.

As a newbie also, thanks for drawing out some great issues... The interview resolves several of my confusions with audio work in the US. Why is public radio under-funded? Why is audio under-appreciated as an art form? Yes, it does seem like a vicious cycle. Three cheers for Third Coast!
