We seek topics of substance. We call Soundprint the aural equivalent of photojournalism. We like stories which engage the listener's mind, imagination and heart. We encourage creative and inventive use of sound, using state of the art technology to develop a contemporary art of story telling.
Programs can range from the hard investigative to the evocotive experiential documentary.
After spending a half hour with Soundprint, we want the listeners to feel it was the best way they could have spent their time. We want them to learn something new, gain a fresh perspective , be entertained, think more, feel more, and when appropriate, be moved to act. Because the subjects and the production styles are wide ranging, the series is refreshingly unpredictable. Host Lisa Simeone is the familiar voice framing each production. We discuss concept and technique, review scripts and, if necessary, bring producers to WAMU's state of the art facility to mix the final production.
