Storytelling for Radio

"The Stillwater Communications Workshop in Storytelling was terrific. A bonus for me was that one begins to see one's own life in terms of developing stories."

JJ O'Shea, Radio Kerry

Storytelling is the fundamental craft of broadcasting. Radio tells thousands of stories every day.

At Stillwater Communications, we have developed the Storytelling for Radio workshop for broadcasting professionals in order for them to understand the fundamentals of storytelling.

During the workshop, we explain why audiences react to stories, why they need them and how you can tell them in a powerful way.

Topics covered in the workshop include:

  • exploring the common elements of great stories
  • understanding why stories have a profound effect on listeners
  • understanding how the choice of story differentiates programmes
  • understanding the unique relationship between a listener and a story
  • how a story engages and connects with an audience
