In this episode of the Kids’ Podcast Podcast, hosts Lindsay Patterson and Ira Singerman dive into the similarities and differences between visual and audio storytelling. They break down what creators need to understand to make audio-first content that captivates and engages. From storyboarding and scripting to sound design and pacing, Lindsay and Ira explore how many storytelling fundamentals stay the same—but the tools and techniques shift when you're working without visuals.

The TL;DL (Too Long; Didn’t Listen) is at 24:03!

Takeaways:

• Storytelling fundamentals—like character, structure, and audience connection—apply across both audio and visual media.
• In audio, sound design, pacing, and voice performance carry the full weight of immersion and engagement.
• Editing for the ear is key—what works on the page might not translate until it’s heard out loud.
• Audio creators must use tools like music, ambient sound, and silence strategically to hold attention and build emotional impact.
• Variety in the soundscape (voices, tone, effects) is crucial for keeping kids focused and engaged.
• Audio-first storytelling invites deep imagination and participation from the listener.
• Both mediums require thoughtful direction and intentional crafting to make stories resonate.
